Synergy

Synergy, the acappella ensemble of the Vancouver Men’s Chorus, was formed in October 1998 under the direction of the VMC’s resident accompanist, Stephen Smith. Over the last eleven seasons, the group has earned a reputation for great singing in a variety of styles ranging from renaissance to jazz, and from motets to Motown! In addition to their regular appearances in VMC mainstage concerts, Synergy has performed at festivals in Chicago, San Jose, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg, and London, England; in self-produced concerts and as guests of other ensembles; in benefits for gay and lesbian organizations in Vancouver, Victoria, and Kamloops; on cable and network television; and at scores of parties, weddings, and community events. In 2008 they released their first CD, entitled Synergy: Songs of Nature, Love, and Celebration.

In 2009, Synergy released its 10th Anniversary CD, “Songs of Nature, Love and Celebration” available online at the VMC Store.

On June 28th, Synergy will be performing in San Francisco! We’ll be at the Old First Presbyterian Church, 1751 Sacramento Street, at 7pm, sharing the stage with Bay-area male vocal ensemble Colla Voce. The repertoire will be varied, ranging from 19th-century choral gems in Czech to Broadway anthems by Sondheim – with some Billy Joel and Glee thrown in for good measure!

Synergy performed in Morton Park in 2008 for CTV. Hear and see them on You Tube.

Synergy performs at many community and private events each year. They also offer their own concerts.
