We sing songs of many different styles and cultures. Our concerts raise money for local charities, and feature local musical guests. Our purpose is to celebrate diversity while singing joyfully and building community.
2022 Spring Session: April 6 - June 22
Wednesday evenings at 7:15 at St. Augustine's Anglican Church (in Marpole)
Fees: $125 per session, paid by e-transfer or by cheque at rehearsal
To join the choir, you don't need to be able to read music (although many of our singers do), but you do need to be able to sing in tune and harmonize. If you're unsure of your vocal part, you can meet with Amy in person, on the phone, or on Zoom to help determine your vocal range.
Below are samples of our recent repertoire . . . just to give you an idea
