Sound Connection Choir

"Sound Connection Choir is soooo much fun!”

Sound Connection Choir

At Sound Connection Choir we believe that the joy of singing is a universal birthright, and that together, regardless of musical background, we can help improve well-being by joining voices in song. Our intent is to create an environment in which we listen deeply to those around us, celebrate diversity, trust in our voices and bring them forward on behalf of harmony, justice and peace. With that, a person who initially sings timidly or off key is welcomed. In close proximity to stronger voices, a novice voice naturally grows in strength and beauty. Sound Connection Choir meets Thursday evenings in Parksville, September through June. Together we sing a variety of international, inspirational, and contemporary music in harmony or rounds. All our songs are taught orally, so there is no need to ready sheet music.

Vocalists receive instruction on song parts, harmony, as well as guidance on vocal technique. Each singer also receives recordings of the songs and paper copies of the lyrics. The groups will have the opportunity to perform at local open mics, showcase nights, and community events, should they choose.

Sound Connection Choir sings contemporary and popular music from the 1960's to today, as well as international and uplifting songs from around the world. The repertoire will include harmony, rounds, improvisational singing, and optional opportunities for choir members to solo or add instrumentation. The group will sing A Capella, to live musical accompaniment or in some cases to instrumental backing tracks.

No experience necessary - but an eagerness to learn a must. Attendance at all sessions is encouraged.
Those registered for the previous session will get first priority in registering for the following sessions. Over the season, we will continue to add to the repertoire of the group, while continuing to practice previously learned songs.

The choir is lead by Sharon Marie Tomczyk and Megan Keene
