VOCAL ART – The Chamber Choir of ALICE & FRIENDS CIRCLE™

Dear friends and art supporters,
With much delight I’m announcing that on 24 July 2026, we had the official launching of VOCAL ART – The Chamber choir of ALICE & Friends Circle™.
By bringing together emerging talents, amateur artists and music professionals, our choir aims to present inspirational vocal music across the realm, to create a cultural experience that resonates with audiences of all ages, while exploring a wide repertoire, ranging from timeless classical masterpieces, Byzantine and Baroque florilegia to contemporary choral works.
Our mission is to facilitate a deeper appreciation for the choral art,
by creating captivating musical experiences for all to enjoy.
We also intend to collaborate with local composers, to engage in educational outreach programs, to perform in traditional settings and innovative venues, as we deliver both public concerts and bespoke performances to special events, featuring the beauty and the extensive versatility of the choral music.
In the small circle of our chamber choir, each voice finds its place and together we weave a tapestry of musical sounds that speak to your souls. 
Beyond the artistic performance, our choir’s launch signals a clear emphasis on musical art and social dialogue. 
Following the debut of The VOCAL ART Chamber Choir™, my Circle continues its mission to enrich even further the cultural life of our community and to inspire like-minded friends to deeply enjoy the power of literature and classical works. As we embark onto this exiting journey, I invite you to attend our announced performances, and to celebrate with us the amazing joy of the choral music that unites, inspires and elevates.
Warm regards,
Alice
Choir Manager

October 24, 2026: VOCAL ART Chamber Choir™ - Community bonding
     By this note I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to “Sfanta Treime” for graciously hosting the autumnal new wine celebration, where the members of VOCAL ART Chamber Choir™  reserved a table and participated as regular guests! Being surrounded by people who care, contribute and show up remind us that the community bonding is the foundation of everything we hope to build. Also, the delicious culinary delights served (featuring the amazing Romanian cuisine), the conversations of the evening, the laugher and the profound sense of belonging were truly uplifting!
     Thank you, Father Nicolae Lăpuşte & family, for creating a space where everyone felt welcome and valued! Thank you to all the volunteers who stepped forward and helped transforming an idea into a great experience! From the warm welcome offered to each arriving guest of the evening, to the careful coordination of the flow (of all the subsequent activities), every effort contributed to the success of a beautiful evening of joy and togetherness.
     Additionally, at this event, we all were very pleased to have with us the Romanian diplomats from the Consulate General of Romania in Vancouver (Consul General – Hon. Gabriel Rotaru, together with his lovely wife, Deputy Consul General – Hon. Ştefana Rotaru) who always support & encourage the socio-cultural activities delivered by the Romanian institutions, associations, organizations & societies located throughout the Greater Vancouver Metropolitan area and beyond!
     Last, but certainly not least, I am glad to acknowledge and salute the attendance at this function of Rompost TV, who never fails to be present at all the activities organized across our province and not only!
     I left the event carried by a soul-settling peace, while feeling genuinely inspired and grateful to be part of such a nice Romanian community!
Sincerely,
Alice

October 14, 2026: A quick briefing on the rehearsals of VOCAL ART Chamber Choir™

As times goes by, with much delight I'm noticing that each rehearsal of our VOCAL ART Chamber Choir™ for the current musical season brings our singers closer to the music and to one another, revealing new layers of meaning and expression. 
Our choral practices are important because they honor the process of creation, not only the final product, reminding us that true beauty is often found in the deliberate work of shaping something together...note by note, breath by breath, moment by moment!
With sincere gratitude,
Alice
A chamber choir is not just a group of singers; it is a promise that beauty, when nurtured , echoes far beyond the room.

Am avut bucuria de a participa la această întâlnire a Cercului socio-cultual a lui Alice, unde am ascultat pentru prima data un minunat cor de camera interpretând cântece din repertoriul românesc. A fost o experiență absolut deosebită, încărcată de sensibilitate și emoție.
Ideea lui Alice - fondatoarea si organizatoarea Cercului, este cu adevărat geniala și plină de suflet!
Prin aceasta inițiativa, ne-a oferit tuturor un prilej de a retrăi amintiri frumoase, de a simți melancolia versurilor și de a ne bucura împreună de frumusețea culturii românești.
Felicitări Alice pentru aceasta seara memorabila și mulțumiri din inimă pentru emoția și căldură pe care le-ai dăruit întregului grup!

Dragă Alice, îți mulțumesc din suflet pentru această zi atât de frumoasă!
Picnicul organizat de tine a fost mai mult decât o simplă întâlnire – a fost un prilej de a ne bucura unii de alții, de natură și de sentimentul că facem parte dintr-o comunitate minunată.
Micul nostru cor a adus emoție, sensibilitate și multă bucurie în sufletele participanților. |
Iți mulțumesc pentru dedicarea, generozitatea și pentru toate amintirile frumoase pe care ni le-ai oferit!

Draga Alice, vineri, 24 iulie 2026 a fost o zi absolut minunată și plină de emoție!

A fost o adevărată bucurie să ne întâlnim atât de mulți români – peste 20 de suflete frumoase – sub cerul senin al acestei zile superbe de vară.
Pentru al 8-lea an consecutiv, organizezi cu atâta dăruire evenimente de suflet în comunitatea noastră!
Printre toate aceste inițiative, picnicul anual a devenit deja o tradiție sfântă, o sărbătoare așteptată de noi toți cu mult dor și dragoste.

Mulțumim, dragă Alice, pentru organizarea impecabilă, pentru că reușești mereu să ne strângi laolaltă, pentru că reușești mereu să creezi un spațiu minunat pentru cei care iubesc natura și momentele autentice, pentru că reușești în fiecare an să ne surprinzi într-un alt mod plăcut de a petrece o zi în mijlocul naturii, dovedind că sursa ta de inspirație este cu adevărat inepuizabilă.

Anul acesta, un moment cu totul deosebit a fost muzica de cameră, interpretată de VOCAL ART – corul Cercului, în primă audiție.
Cele 6 doamne, elegante și distinse în fustele lor negre, bluze albe și perle, aminteau de rafinamentul seratelor de altădată și de nostalgia curată a vremurilor de acasă.
Acest gen de muzica a adus un strop de noblețe, armonie și o profundă sensibilitate întregului eveniment, iar acordurile melodiilor “Crai Nou“ (de Ciprian Porumbescu) si ”Sara pe deal” (pe versuri de Mihai Eminescu) ne-au emotionat inimile tuturor.

Voia bună a fost completată perfect de gustările alese: pe lângă cele românești, preparatelele internaționale ne-au stârnit curiozitatea și au fost deliciul zilei.

În principal, însă, rămânem cu bucuria de a ne strânge laolaltă și cu amintirea unei zile perfecte pe care ai orchestrat-o cu atâta drag, iar farmecul acestui eveniment s-a datorat sufletului pe care îl pui în tot ceea ce faci.

Îi mulțumim din inimă pentru organizarea impecabilă și pentru că ne menține atât de uniți!

Draga Alice, mult succes in continuare, multă inspirație, și la cât mai multe evenimente frumoase împreună!

Dorina
