Lions Gate Chorus
Under the musical direction of Sandy Robinson Marron, SAI Certified Master 700 Director
Western Canada’s first World Champion Chorus! Lions Gate Chorus has been thrilling audiences with ringing 4-part a cappella harmony and outstanding showmanship since 1954
Lions Gate Chorus is a vibrant community of over 100 singers from all backgrounds and with all levels of musical experience who love to sing. From students to lawyers, business owners to homemakers, we are a community of strong, caring members who believe in the community we create together. We are a safe, accepting, and positive environment where members have the freedom to be themselves, be ambitious, show their strengths, and develop new ones without fear of judgment. By working together every week with the common goal of musical and performance excellence, we build strong bonds that continue outside of the rehearsal hall. Lions Gate Chorus welcomes all cis and trans women, as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centres on the experiences of women.
Our director, Sandy Marron, is a Master 700 Director, the highest designation possible, and is a Certified Sound Judge. She is a professional vocal coach, travelling the world to help quartets and choruses improve vocal skills and unit sound.
Lions Gate is currently accepting new members. If you are interested in high-energy ensemble singing, experience Lions Gate in person - take in a show or visit a rehearsal and try it out yourself!
Join us for rehearsals, Tuesday Evenings at 7pm. Email us for location!
