Octet Victoria is a fully professional group of eight singers who are committed to creating excellent choral music here in Victoria. Having a mixed choir of eight different voices allows a large amount of flexibility for repertoire, and Octet Victoria has explored music from all time periods spanning Renaissance to modern day. While still a new group (founded in 2022), Octet Victoria has performed some of the richest music from the choral tradition such as motets by J.S. Bach and J. Brahms, as well as a variety of new music including selections by Canadian composers such as Ruth Watson Henderson, Stephanie Martin, and Nathaniel Dett.
