Our History and Purpose

The AVC Melody Choir was founded in 1974 with the purpose of keeping alive the rich heritage of Austrian folk music in the Austrian Community of Vancouver, and to share it with the larger multicultural community of Canada.

    From very modest beginnings the choir has grown to 57 members, and it has expanded its repertory to include operatic pieces as well as sacred music. We are proud to be able to perform in German, English, Latin and Italian.

    We take pride in our Austrian heritage, and welcome singers from other cultures who want to share with us the love of the Austrian song.
