The Nanaimo Sings! Choral Festival Society is committed to promoting choral singing in our Nanaimo and to presenting quality choral events. We believe that choral music is soul-satisfying because it creates a connection to something larger than oneself. John Rutter, renowned choral conductor, composer, editor, arranger and record producer maintains that as a member of a choir, “somehow you leave your troubles of the day... you walk away renewed." Choral music is what Nanaimo Sings! stands for.  It is what we do both individually and collectively. Working together, we celebrate community through song!
