Combining a rich history of male choir standards with new and unexpected arrangements of contemporary works, this choir delivers beyond expectations. You are as likely to hear a Welsh hymn or folk song as an opera chorus, pop hit, spiritual or contemporary Canadian composition.

Orpheus is a member of the BC Choral.  onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
