Break out your big hair, bright colours, shoulder pads and parachute pants! Don’t have a cow, man – it’s gonna be like, totally tubular!

Directed by the totally rad Roy Sydiaha, our righteous band and chorus are stoked to the max. We’ll be re-igniting that 80s flame with mega-hits from all of our favourite artists. Are you amped to find out if the bangin’ hits you loved will be featured? Hop on our time machine and enjoy our gnarly 80s flashback featuring hits from Madonna, Queen, Cyndi Lauper, and more!

Can you relate? It’s time to motor and join the fantabulous fun on Broadway! It’s going to be totally radical!

Christmas Concert 2018

Christmas is the most wonderful time for celebrating favorite memories of past holiday seasons and for creating new memories to treasure in coming years. Get into the Christmas Spirit with Eclipse Chorus’ 15th annual Christmas concert. This year, Eclipse dips into the collective memory bank and pulls out some memorable songs. Mom’s favourite song, that first Christmas in the big city, that special movie with the family around the tube – these are some of the memories that Christmas songs can stir up. Classic Eclipse favourites like Angels We Have Heard On High, new arrangements of old classics like Here We Come A-Wassailing, and a memorable arrangement of O Holy Night by Angie Tysseland are included in the program. With many unique arrangements by our talented Roy and Wes, you’re in for a spirit-warming evening.
Special guest percussionist Darrell Bueckert joins the red-hot Eclipse band of Wes Froese (piano), Bruce Wilkinson (bass), Byron Olsen (guitar), and Don Tatchell (drums).
Join us as we share some memories of Christmases past, as well as create some exciting new ones!

Spring Concert 2018 – Capture Love

Capture Love in Song

Eclipse Chorus Presents Its 15th Annual Spring Show

“If you could capture love, give it shape and let it breathe, it would be a song for you and me”.

On Saturday, May 12, Eclipse Chorus breathes life into these lyrics from an original composition by our own Wes Froese and former chorus member Pam Haidenger-Bains. Our evening spans the arc of romantic love from the blossoming stage (I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You) to relationship challenges (The Things We Do for Love) to broken hearts (Breaking Up is Hard to Do). Also blended into this sentimental journey is the joy and importance of brotherly love, love of a higher power and care for the welfare of the wider world through an energetic mix of popular music and the gospel genre (Heal The World, Oh Happy Day).

You’ll hear selections from The Great American Song Book to Bob Dylan, the Everly Brothers, the Eagles, Michael Buble and more.

A spirited, thoughtful and fun-filled stroll down the memory lane of love awaits. Let Eclipse “Put a Little Love in Your Heart”. Come join us!!
