Twice each year (fall and spring) the Vancouver Chapter hosts an afternoon of song. These recitals are designed to give Chapter members and their students the opportunity to perform in front of an enthusiastic and sympathetic gathering of their colleagues and peers. It’s only by practising performance skills in front of an audience that we become better performers. For more information on recitals, please visit the members page.

Performers at our Recital held on November 5, 2017

Please remember these details:


Singers are encouraged to perform 2 or 3 contrasting songs for a maximum time of 8 minutes per singer.
Maximum 10 singers in each recital.



Use original scores! Performers in NATS-sponsored auditions, competitions, recitals, and other activities such as workshops, shall perform from lawful editions and shall support and obey the law relative to copyright. Accompanists may photocopy a few select pages of music in order to facilitate page turning only; the photocopied pages must be destroyed following the performance.

Please email the recital co-ordinator with the details of selections at least a week before the recital including title (if the selection is from a larger work, please identify that also), composer, lyricist, performer’s name, accompanist’s name and teacher’s name.

The co-ordinator will attempt to provide an official pianist for the recitals, however, there is no time or space on the day of the recital for rehearsals. Please arrange rehearsals well in advance.
