2021-2022 Season
Imagine Saturday, 4.June 2022 7:30 PM Southminster-Steinhauer United Church (10740 19 Avenue NW) It has been thirty months, a full two and a half years since EVM has performed in front of live audience, and the choir is excited to reconnect and share its music at its June Pride concert, Imagine, hosted by Darrin Hagen. After a full season of on-line rehearsing, the choir restarted live rehearsals in September 2021. The singers have adapted to shorter rehearsals, a limited number of singers, and singing while wearing face masks. Their perseverance and dedication have paid off and we invite you to share in EVM’s return to live performances on Saturday, June 4th. So much has happened in the past two years, and the music for this concert will touch on some of the issues that our society has been facing. We also want to celebrate our resilience and the joy of people coming together supporting one another, offering hope and solace. Since 1993 EVM has been making music and entertaining its audience. Come celebrate with us, we’ve missed you!
