SUMMER STILL FEELS a long way off, but the Vancouver Bach Family of Choirs will go all-out to bring the season one step closer with its annual SummerSing concert.

The 2025 edition of SummerSing focused on Broadway show tunes and Beatles hits; this year’s theme is folk songs, and while we can’t tell you which songs will be included (it’s a closely guarded secret that even we don’t know), we can at least tell you who will be singing them: everyone.

SummerSing features all the choirs under the VBFC umbrella, which includes the Vancouver Bach Children’s Choirs ensembles—Piccolo, Tocata, Partita, Chorus, and Chorale—and also its adult ensembles: Sarabande, Cantabile, and the Symphonic Choir (a.k.a. the Vancouver Bach Choir).

After each of the choirs has performed, they will all join together, Voltron-style, to form one unstoppable “tutti” choir. And if 500 massed voices can’t make summer arrive just a little earlier, we don’t know what could.
