This excellent choir was founded in 1995 under the direction of founder and director Lars Kaario. It offers intriguing choral concerts to its listeners, sometimes collaborating with instrumentalists or the Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra. It supports its own composer-in-residence. Its 4 CDs are highly acclaimed: Christmas Journey, Songs of Heaven and Earth, A Baroque Christmas with Ray Nurse and La Cetra, and Celtic Journey with Amy Stephen and Michael Viens. Laudate's singers are highly trained, most with music degrees. The choir is at home with an eclectic mix of repertoire, and interpret each style convincingly. Indeed, Michael McGlynn, foremost Celtic composer and artist of Riverdance and Anuna fame, says about Celtic Journey, "The combination of such excellent voices under a decisive guiding hand is very refreshing to hear on such a stylistically difficult release. This is easily one of the finest available records in the Celtic genre of vocal music that I have ever heard."
