The Victoria Philharmonic Choir is a 60-voice auditioned choir based in Victoria, British Columbia. Conducted since 2009, by artistic director Peter Butterfield, the choir performs a wide range of ''a cappella'' and accompanied music, and collaborates with or performs with community and professional vocal soloists and musicians, including the Victoria Symphony. Under the founding artistic director Simon Capet an international debate was initiated as a result of its production in 2007 of Handel's 1743 oratorio "Samson", which recast Samson as a suicide bomber in the 1940s.〔 〕 ==History== The Victoria Philharmonic Choir (VPC) was created June 2005, as a non-profit performing arts organization dedicated to arts and cultural innovation through the performance of high quality symphonic choral music, and partnering with other arts, culture and tourism organizations. It is committed to creating and nurturing a new standard of excellence in musical performance in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Founding artistic director Simon Capet led the choir until April 2009, when current director Peter Butterfield was appointed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Victoria Philharmonic Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
