More about THE BIG SING Metro Vancouver
THE BIG SING Metro Vancouver builds on the launch and success of
“Vancouver Sings One Song” (VSOS) 2018 when our new Festival song was
born, and we brought together 350 voices from 30 registered choirs across
our diverse communities. Participants aged 3 to 83 had an exhilarating
experience! THE BIG SING Metro Vancouver is open to everyone regardless of
one’s musical background or skill level. This new project is a means of
artistic expression for individuals with a desire and enthusiasm to sing
which meets the Festival mandate to promote active community engagement
through arts and culture.
