New YouTube video

So, our newest addition to our youtube channel (vancouverbachchoir if you want to subscribe) is a video of a recoding session of the choir performing the Christmas Carol "Ding Dong Merrily on High" for a recording session for our Christmas CD.  I know it's not Christmas, or even winter anymore, but the music is really great.

Some great pictures of the choir

From CBC's flickr photo stream, they took some great pictures of the VSO's Beethoven Festival including the Vancouver Bach Choir singing the 9th.
