Donors to the Chor Leoni Men's Choir play a vital role in everything we do – enriching our programs, creating new choral works and helping to educate and encourage new singers.

Bringing high quality music to you, our audience, takes considerable financial resources. Chor Leoni funds its activities through ticket and CD sales, touring, government and foundation grants, corporate sponsorships and individual donors – like you.

Your gift recognizes the importance of choral music in all our lives and in the life of our communities. We thank you for your generous support.

Direct Your Support:

Area of Greatest Need

Your undesignated gift allows Chor Leoni to direct funds where they will have the greatest impact. This helps meet the choir’s most urgent needs.

Endowment

By giving to the Chor Leoni endowment, you will ensure that audiences hear the lions roar for generations to come.

Mentoring and Outreach

The lions encourage young men to make choral singing part of their adult lives. PROMYS (PROgram for Mentoring Young Singers) invites high school-aged young men to join Chor Leoni in rehearsal and concert. Other outreach activities such as touring and recording allow us to share choral music outside the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

Commissioning

For a donation of $250 or more you can join our commissioning consortium and contribute to the creation of new works not only for Chor Leoni but also for the future musical library of men's choirs all over the world. These donations help Canadian composers to create a living legacy of choral music for men's voices. If you are interested in commissioning a particular composer to write a new piece to be premiered and sung by Chor Leoni, we would be happy to discuss this with you.
