Save the Date: Our next Concert Series: Exploring our Ancestry will be December 1st at 7 pm and Dec 2nd at 2 pm, 2023 at Peace United Church
The theme encompasses a musical exploration of songs honoring ancestry, paying homage to the past, holding archetypes of ancestors as spiritual and historic guides, and making promises to be good ancestors for generations to come. Rehearsals are held in person, masking is optional. Music learning tracks are available on our website.
Our artistic director, Crista Berryessa, will be leading an additional ‘deep dive’ into the subject matter outside of rehearsal. This group exploration will be scheduled for four meetings over the span of the season (Zoom is an option) and is open to singers and friends or family who plan to be in the audience. The sessions are for those who want to trace their personal ancestry, share traditions/stories from the past, and research, reconnect, or reckon with their lineages in support of future generations.

The concert was dedicated to climate awareness, Honoring our Earth and all who inhabit her, highlighting areas that are affected by climate change.
Our program featured music from around the world, featuring many styles and including Indigenous composers. We offer these songs with gratitude, urgency, and hope.
Under the Artistic Direction of Crista Berryessa, Pacific Voices choir is known for delivering concerts that explore our shared human experience through classical, contemporary, jazz and world choral music.
