Vancouver’s Elektra Women’s Choir is regarded as a leader in classical women’s choirs worldwide. Among its members are Jennifer McGraw, of Barrigar Intellectual Property Law, and Melinda Munro, of the Public Guardian & Trustee’s Office. Jennifer serves on Elektra’s Board of Directors with Marina Morgan, of Shapiro, Hankinson & Knutson, who serves as Elektra’s Treasurer.

The highlight of the choir’s 2002-2003 season was its appearance at Carnegie Hall in New York as part of the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association.

Elektra’s next concert Songs of Sanctuary will feature guest conductor and composer Javier Busto leading the choir in his own works and those of other Spanish composers. Two performances are planned: November 29, 8:00 p.m. at West Vancouver United Church and November 30, 7:30 p.m. at Shaughnessy Heights United Church. Call Ticketmaster for tickets (604-280-3311). In the spring, the choir will perform with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO) and Chor Leoni, in a reprise of the VSO’s popular Gilbert and Sullivan concert.
