Welcome


Comprised of a group of like-minded individuals who wish to reconnect with their culture and preserve the unique a cappella traditions of their ancestors, the Victoria Doukhobor Choir has quickly expanded to welcome many new members over the past few years. Our ever-growing numbers serve as a testament to the desire of our Doukhobor youth to preserve the songs that form the foundation of their culture and faith.
