At the heart of EVOKX, our singers share a passion to inspire our audiences with Choral music that resonates with the soul, and instill empathy and charity through community engagement and Choral performance.
We stand strong in our pursuit for artistic excellence, and strive to nurture our singers’ love of Choral music by giving them an avenue to further pursue their interest in Choral singing. In evoking the senses, emotions, and memories through the music we make, we hope to bring meaning and purpose to the community at large, and stay steadfast to our fundamental belief that music can bring people from all walks of life together to do good. less

The 54-voice ensemble has performed throughout the world in Concert performances and Choral festivals to great acclaim. They are widely recognized for presenting and preserving great works of Choral literature from a wide range of traditions from around the world that express the region’s diversity. The group is equally committed to innovative and dramatic presentations, as well as promoting the Choral art through the premieres of new works by Stephen Schwartz, Richard Burchard, Eric William Barnum, and Joshua Shank, to name a few.

In 2010, the choir performed at Podium, the biennial conference of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities, held in Saskatoon.

Perhaps best known for its annual Remembrance Day Concert, the choir’s schedule is generally rounded out by a seasonal Concert in December or January and on... less
