Chor Leoni Men's Choir in Concert at the Oklahoma State Capitol March 6, 2009

Vancouver, BC’s Chor Leoni Men’s Choir (pronounced kor lee-OH-nee), conducted by Diane Loomer, C.M., will sing a free noon hour concert on Friday March 6 in the fourth floor rotunda of the Oklahoma State Capitol building. Repertoire will include works by Schubert, Nystedt and Kricka, as well as a selection of works by Canadian composers.

A rich full-bodied sound, innovative programming, technical precision, meticulous intonation, and versatility coupled with an ever-present commitment to the creation of new Canadian choral works are qualities that have catapulted Chor Leoni to national and international fame since its founding by Diane Loomer C.M. in 1992. Whether it be a somber moment of reflection during a Remembrance Day performance or a joyful turn of comedic phrasing at a Summer Solstice show, Chor Leoni is renowned for reaching across the footlights and transforming the performance from ‘concert’ to ‘conversation.’ The lions live up to their name as they fearlessly move between musical genres, always aiming to communicate, engage, and entertain.

Selections from the choir’s discography are heard regularly on national radio across North America and are available through iTunes and the choir’s website, www.chorleoni.org.

Chor Leoni is one of only four international choirs invited to perform for the upcoming 50th national convention of the American Choral Directors Association, being held in Oklahoma City from March 4 – 7.
