7:00pm Show: 7:30pm

The Choir will be singing all-new repertoire at Alix Goolden Hall with special guests  Pharis and Jason Romero, and the Mini Choir. 

We are a non-auditioned community choir that sings all-original arrangements of pop, folk and indie music to the likes of Radiohead, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Tom Waits and more. The Choir was born in January 2012, and is directed by Marc Jenkins and accompanied by Danuel Tate.

The Choir performed on the main stage at Rifflandia 2014 in a collaboration with Toronto's Choir!Choir!Choir!, and shared the stage with Adam Cohen at the Victoria Public Market Stage. We have been honoured to include Aidan Knight, Ruth Moody, Sara Marreiros and Dougal Bain as previous concert guests, and are booked to perform in the 2015 Campbell Bay Music Fest on Mayne Island.

Proceeds from this concert will go to Victoria Sexual Assault Centre

Pharis and Jason Romero’s music reflects their deep love for early country, old time, folk, blues and bluegrass. Before they met, they had been performing as solo artists and in various bands for decades, but when they got together about five years ago, they formed the perfect musical marriage (and the other kind too); sublime vocal harmonies backed up by Pharis’s rhythm guitar and Jason’s guitar and banjo picking.

The Romero's breathe new life into old songs and write new songs that sound like they’re as old as the hills near Horsefly, the town in rural B.C. they call home. Since they released their first duo recording in 2010 they have won several folk and Americana music awards in Canada and stateside, and have also become a mainstay on radio programs such as NPR’s Prairie Home Companion in the U.S. and the Vinyl Café on CBC.
