    New year, New music!

    With holiday season over, it's time to dust off some of the old repertoire and add a new piece or two.  Valentine's Day is coming as well as requests for performances.  

    It's also time to introduce new people to our chorus and invite them into our membership.  More people, fuller sound, greater opportunity to perform and expand our circle of friends.  Auditions (vocal assessments) are open to everyone.  

    There's a place for you in the choir!

Together we raised over $10,000 towards the purchase of a new CT Scanner for Chilliwack General Hospital! Also we were amazed by the number of Toys and Toiletry items brought out to the event! These items will be delivered to the Pediatric Departments in Chilliwack and Abbotsford as well as the Adolescent Day Treatment Program and Early Psychosis Prevention.
