We’ll go off the beaten path during our experience of the Netherlands with a visit to Assen – the capital of the province of Drenthe.

Choristers will be exploring the large town known as a useful transport hub and shopping/services centre for nearby villages. Assen has a wide network of fast intercity trains and is known as a wonderful place to cycle.

In addition to learning about WWII history at the Westerbork transit camp, we will share lunch and dinner with the students of Vincent Van Gogh school, and enjoy an evening concert with Chamber Choir Arpeggio of Assen, a 30-member group who sing a broad range of music – from baroque to 20th century choral (…hear their music samples).

The Victoria Children's Choir is a Member of Choral Canada and the BC Choral Federation.

We would like to acknowledge that we gather on the unceded, ancestral lands of the Lekwungen speaking peoples – the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, who have stewarded these lands and waterways since time immemorial, and whose connection to the land continues to this day. We are grateful to live, learn, raise our families, and make music on these beautiful lands. We would also like to acknowledge our Métis, Inuit and urban Indigenous partners and friends who call these lands their home.
