The Arion (pronounced A-RYE-ON) Male Voice Choir has continued without interruption since being founded in 1892. It performs numerous concerts each year at venues in Victoria, elsewhere on Vancouver Island, on the mainland of British Columbia, and periodically in Eugene, Oregon with the Eugene Gleemen with whom it has had a close relationship since the 1930's. In the recent past it has performed at such public gatherings as the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Provincial Legislative Building in Victoria, the launching of the Sail and Life Training Society's schooner "Pacific Grace" and the annual Remembrance Day services at the Cenotaph. Joint concerts have been held with the Vancouver Welsh Mens' Choir, Youth Choir 61, the Crystal Singers (ladies' choir), the Eugene Gleemen, the City of Gardens Chorus (Sweet Adelines) and the Victoria Male Voice Choir.

The Choir also performs many charity concerts in Nursing and Retirement Homes and is a benefactor of music studies in Victoria, British Columbia.
