about Chorealis . . .

Chorealis is an a cappella ensemble, based in Vernon BC, Canada. Our main objective is to produce beautiful music, to challenge our capacity to master demanding repertoire and to have fun in the process.

Our repertoire ranges from early motets and madrigals (Tallis, Byrd, etc) to contemporary compositions and arrangements (Billy Joel, The Beatles). This variety of musical styles allows us to vary our performances, in the hope that you, our audience, will get maximum enjoyment from our music.
