Vanessa Richards and the Woodwards Community Choir in Vancouver

October 25, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

The Woodwards Community Choir is conducted by Vanessa Richards.

Rehearsals are at Woodwards SRO, 131 West Hastings, 10 floor ( 6pm-7:30pm) every Thursday

A dose of collective joy, they sing songs in the oral tradition of blues/gospel/folk/popular tradition

Below are photos and videos of a recent rehearsal at Woodwards SRO

Below are videos of the choir singing “Dark as a Dungeon” in honor of the Chilean Miners





Vanessa Richards says

This Thursday (Oct 28, 2010) we will have a very special guest at our Woodward’s community choir. Su Hart, will be teaching us songs from the Baka people of Cameroon where she has been working with the Baka to create a cultural centre and recording studio.
