The Choir

MomChoir is a Vancouver-based treble choir made up of moms who not only share the joys of motherhood, but also the love of music and singing.

MomChoir rehearse once a week to learn a variety of music – both a cappella and accompanied – in order to perform throughout the year. The members are committed to showing up each week, doing their best and working on their music at home. MomChoir is an engaging learning environment and members not only learn vocal and performance skills and techniques, they also develop friendships and have fun.

The Vision

MomChoir was created by a mom for other moms to connect, sing, perform and build a sense of community.

Too often, parents give up their own personal passions when they have children. It is easy to put everyone else first when you are in the throes of diaper changes, school pick-ups and sport drop-offs. Where is the time you once had for yourself? You have to make the time. MomChoir is a dedicated kid-free zone for moms to meet other like-minded women who also share a passion for choir and singing.

Meet the Artistic Director

Katy Cadman (she/her) has been passionate about singing and choir since she was a kid. She was fortunate enough to be involved in choirs both in and out of school and after graduating, sang professionally for years. She then followed her passion for teaching and became a high school English and Choir teacher. She currently sings with a cappella group, Sweet Scarlet and loves directing MomChoir. The MomChoir community and the joy of rehearsals is the highlight of Katy’s week.
