Founded in 1934, the Victoria Choral Society has played a leading role in Victoria's cultural life, and has performed with every Victoria Symphony conductor since the Symphony’s inception.

They agreed to continue singing together to promote choral music, and the Victoria Choral Society, at that time called the Victoria Choral Union, was formed. The instrumentalists who played with the choir later formed the Victoria Symphony. Recent performances with the Victoria Symphony include Wagner's Lohengrin (Third Act), Verdi's Requiem, Orff's Carmina Burana, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Britten's War Requiem, and Handel’s Messiah.

Performed live at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on May 6, 2012. Text: In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people's feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day?  less

We make a road for the spirits to pass over. Among us are three Hunters who chase a bear. There never was a time when they were not hunting. We are the stars which sing. We sing with our light. We look down on the mountains. This is the song of stars. [The Hunters are three stars in the constellation Ursa Major (The Great Bear). They form the handle of the highly visible formation commonly called The Big Dipper. As the Earth travels around the Sun, the three Hunters appear to pursue the Great Bear a...    less
