"Viva VIVA!" is the apt title of the VIVA Choir's first compact disk, released December 5, 1998. Artistic Director Connie Foss More has selected the best examples from the choir's first 10 years, making the CD a "hit parade" of this treble choir's favourite international folk music and art music recordings. Venues range from Victoria's St. Andrew's Cathedral to London's Church of St-Martin-in-the-Fields and include some international competition performances. In 2007 VIVA produced a 20-year retrospective double CD entitled "Winter Gifts", with the older/auditioned groups on one disk and younger/newer groups on the other. The 1998 CD is on sale for $10 through the choir; the 2007 double CD is $24.98. http://vivachoirs.ca
