“LGC has given me a home for my voice, a stage for performing, opportunities to grow and stretch myself, and best of all - an energetic, fun community that feels like family.”

Who we are
Lions Gate Chorus is the 2024 International Chorus Champion! Lions Gate Chorus is a vibrant community of over 100 members from all backgrounds and with all levels of musical experience who love to sing. We are doctors, mothers, teachers, retirees, students, lawyers, pharmacists, executives, managers, writers, designers, photographers, nurses … it would be safe to say that we represent most vocations that come to mind.
What we offer
We are not only a singing community that centres the experiences of women, but an educational one too! We provide music education to all members as well as opportunity to become leaders and be mentored in positions of leadership. We are a safe, accepting, and positive environment where cis and trans women, as well as non-binary people can be themselves, show their strengths, and develop new ones without fear of judgement.

Virtual Choir - You’ve got a Friend in Me
The 3rd wave, or as I call it, “the 2nd burnout”, is upon us. As a chorus, we have remained resilient although not without struggle. As precious human beings who are members of a chorus, we have struggled to remain resilient. Were it not for our chorus—that weekly opportunity to stay connected to our passion and gifting, that forum to hear and share in the life of others outside of our blood family, our chosen family, and our work family—many of us would numbly fall away from this part of our lives that shines so brightly and engages us so deeply. See the full post here.
Virtual Choir - Fight Song
This song is for those who came before us. Those way makers who carved for us a land of opportunity. May we honour and keep the stories alive for generations to come. This song is for mothers, daughters, friends and neighbours. May we keep teaching, healing, caring and loving as we lean on each other through laughter and tears. This song is for humanity. May we believe in each other and build each other up because together we are a community, a people proud and free. And together we are strong. See the post here.
Virtual Choir - O Canada 2020
In 2020 during Covid-19, Lions Gate recorder a virtual version of O Canada to celebrate our nation and our members that come from across the country and around the world.
Besides our members who live in the Greater Vancouver Area, we have members who sing with us and live in: Washington State, Calgary Alberta, BC’s Interior, and Vancouver Island. We are blessed to have such a geographically diverse family! See the post here.
Semi Finals Performance
Every 2 years, Lions Gate competes on the International stage. A two song semi-final performance on the Thursday of International week is judged by a panel and the top 10 performances move into the Finals round on Saturday.
This semi-finals performance in 2019 (New Orleans) qualified us to compete in the Finals.
Finals Performance
The choruses that advance to the finals perform a 15 minute entertainment package. Lions Gate is known for their excellent writing and production of audience favourite finals packages. All props are designed and made by members of the chorus.
This finals performance in 2019 (New Orleans) earned us the Silver medal and the audience choice award.
