Chor Leoni Launches Improved Website

Vancouver's Chor Leoni Men"s Choir is pleased to announce the launch of their newly reconstructed website, www.chorleoni.org. This project was made possible by a grant from the Vancouver Foundation’s B.C. Arts Renaissance Advisory Committee and is designed to enhance the choir’s outreach and fundraising abilities.

"Chor Leoni is an exciting and dynamic choir,” explains Diane Loomer, the choir’s artistic director. “We wanted our presence on the web to be in tune with that richness. Our new site’s architecture allows changes 'on the fly’ so that if something exciting happens our audience will know about it quickly. It also allows our friends to support the choir by making an on-line donation easily and safely.”
 
Designed by the web gurus of Vancouver-based Raised Eyebrow Web Studio and utilizing a content management system developed by Pencilneck Software (also a Vancouver company), the new Chor Leoni website offers new opportunities for the choir. Along with the expected photos, sound samples, and video clips of a modern website, Chor Leoni’s new site has e-commerce built in so visitors can purchase CDs and season tickets conveniently. In addition the site offers a degree of interaction previously unavailable. “Audience members can write reviews of performances and recordings,” Diane continues. “We are looking forward to seeing it in action!”

The site will also feature resources for the media. “Now members of media will have access to high resolution photos and other materials available for download whenever they wish,” stated Bruce Hoffman, the choir’s communications officer. “This should prove particularly helpful in touring situations - and in those cases where reviewers burning the midnight oil need the choir’s biography or the latest press photo! It’s all there in the Media Room on the site.”

Chor Leoni is Canada’s preeminent male choir. A rich full-bodied sound, innovative programming, technical precision, meticulous intonation, and versatility coupled with an ever-present musical curiosity and commitment to the creation of new Canadian choral works are qualities that have catapulted Chor Leoni to national and international fame since its founding by Diane Loomer, C.M., in 1992. Visit their new website at www.chorleoni.org.
