Cordova Bay United Church
813 Claremont Ave, Victoria, BC

The Victoria Arion Male Choir is one of the newest choirs in Victoria, BC. In 2018, the Arion Male Choir (founded in 1892) merged with the Victoria Male Voice Choir (1907).

Our mission is to maintain the great tradition of male-voice choral music, and to share that music through two more public concerts each year.  The choir also performs at senior residences, at the Victoria Remembrance Day ceremony at the BC Legislature that the Arion choir has done since 1929 as well as other public events.

We support music education through our choral scholarship program, which allows up to four student musicians to sing with us each year. We welcome new members: come and share with us the joy of male choral music!

Our musical director, Sean Lampard-Quicke, joined us in 2020 and our collaborative pianist, Jennifer Mitchell, joined the choir in 2019.

We are actively seeking new singers for our non-audition choir in January 2026, with open houses on Monday January 5^th, 12^th, and 19^th. The choir sings four-part harmony, and our repertoire covers classical, spiritual, folk, and contemporary music.

We meet Monday’s, 7:00PM at Cordova Bay United Church, 813 Claremont Ave. We are also looking for choral scholars. For more information on becoming a member or if you want to know more about the choral scholarship program please contact Jim Johnson at jimmysj@shaw.ca or check out our website at www.vamc.ca.

Royal Theatre, Victoria

Artistic Space Productions proudly presents “Swan Lake: Symphony of Lights,” the landmark new production of the upcoming season, coming to Victoria, British Columbia, on October 6, 2026, at the Royal Theatre.

Tchaikovsky’s iconic score opens the door to an entirely reimagined world: vivid light design, illuminated costumes, and world-class dancers from around the globe transform the classic ballet into a mesmerizing visual experience.

This is more than a performance — it’s an immersion into a story of love and magic, told through light, movement, and music. Each act unfolds like a living art installation, where timeless tradition meets bold contemporary design.

Discover Swan Lake in a whole new light — a legend reborn with breathtaking imagery and emotional power.
