Chor Leoni Men's Choir

Chor Leoni Men's Choir is a renowned Canadian all-male choral ensemble based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded in 1992 by director Diane Loomer, C.M. (who was a pioneering figure in choral music until her passing in 2012), Chor Leoni has established itself as a leading force in the international choral scene, recognized for its rich sound, musical precision, and innovative programming. The choir's name, Chor Leoni, is Latin for "Choir of Lions," reflecting the group's location on the Pacific Coast and their spirited and passionate approach to performance.

Over the years, the choir has earned a stellar reputation for its performances and recordings, which often explore a wide range of repertoire, from classical choral standards to new commissions and arrangements of contemporary songs. Under the artistic direction of Erick Lichte since 2013, Chor Leoni continues to captivate audiences with their emotive and powerful performances. With recent releases such as "When There Is Peace" – an evocative reflection on the armistice and hope for peace, "Star of Wonder" – a holiday recording filled with festive cheer, and "Wandering Heart" – which showcases their versatility and the breadth of their musical exploration, the choir remains at the forefront of Canada's cultural landscape, inspiring through the power of their collective voice.
