The Vancouver Men’s Chorus Presents: Making Spirits Bright 2023 at The Vancouver Playhouse

VANCOUVER, BC, 10 October 2023 – Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays!

Shorter days? Greyer skies? We all know what that means! It’s time to pull out your gayest apparel because the Vancouver Men’s Chorus’s legendary Making Spirits Bright performances are right around the corner!

As the leaves begin to fall and the air gets a little crisper, the anticipation grows for one of Vancouver’s most treasured holiday traditions: the legendary Making Spirits Bright performances by the Vancouver Men’s Chorus, at the beautiful Vancouver Playhouse.

Every holiday season since 1981, the Chorus has enchanted audiences with our impeccable harmonies, charismatic charm, and unique dash of festive cheer. This year promises to be no different. With an effervescent array of sparkling songs, fizzy fun, and heartwarming harmonies, the stage is set for a holiday musical event that will leave you toasty and warm from the inside out.

Willi Zwozdesky, the VMC’s Artistic Director and Conductor shares his excitement: “Making Spirits Bright is not just about the performance but our connection with our audience. The stories we tell through our songs, the memories we invoke, and the new traditions we help form—this is what keeps us going and our audience coming back.”

So whether it’s for the first time, 43rd time, or somewhere in between, join us for an evening of cheer, charm, and choral brilliance. And remember, with the Vancouver Men’s Chorus, it’s always about enjoying the fun in just the right measure. Cheers to Making Spirits Bright!
