One of Vancouver's most enduring cultural treasures, the Universal Gospel Choir (UGC) has been bringing the healing and inspiring power of the world's spiritual music to appreciative audiences for 30 years. A multi-faith, multicultural community choir 70 voices strong, UGC is renowned for its big sound, infectious exuberance and eclectic repertoire that blends old school and urban gospel with social justice anthems, world rhythms and uplifting pop in a uniquely exhilarating mix. This dynamic musical diversity combined with the choir's dedication to building community and raising social awareness through song has garnered UGC an intensely loyal fan base that grows with each concert. UGC will be bringing you music in a two evening concert event that will be nothing short of inspiring for the human spirit.

UGC is led by Music Director Lonnie Delisle, a renowned choral director and musician. Lonnie's exceptional music arranging skills help create a powerful sound for the Universal Gospel Choir.
