Singing is powerful and uplifting. Singing together teaches us how to listen to each other and singing in harmony has a ripple effect in the community and beyond. Whether you are an experienced singer, or have always wished you could sing, you are welcome to sing with our non-audition community choir. No need to read music.

We sing songs of spirit from around the world; step by step, call and response, in the oral tradition. These will include African freedom songs, Latin chants, songs from the African-American tradition, as well as contemporary songs. All voices are welcome!

We are meeting monthly in Van Buren Hall in Kinderhook. 

We’re about the joy of singing in community. At past performances, we have raised funds for an orphanage in Tibet, and for local Christmas Hampers. Tuesdays 7:25–9:00pm at the Denman Island Community School. $30 for 10 weeks. 10–20 members.

Anyone with a desire to sing is welcome to join this non-audition community choir. Our repertoire includes songs from various cultural and spiritual traditions around the world, songs of justice and peace, songs of hope and longing, and songs that are simply fun and full of celebration. At the heart of what we are about is coming together to sing in harmony as a means of both personal, local and global transformation. Singing opens the heart and re-enchants the spirit. Harmony brings harmony!

Our mission is to increase joy and harmony in our community by creating the opportunity for everyone to sing regardless of ability.

We believe that singing is our natural human birthright. Humans were meant to sing, and we founded EveryBodySings! singing circles in 2001 to provide a place for anyone to join an energetic, enthusiastic group of ordinary people who sing for the pure joy of singing. We truly believe that everyone can sing, given the right encouragement and atmosphere for vocal development. We both come from singing families where singing was a natural, accepted and joyful form of expression. We love to encourage and inspire others to discover and/or reclaim their voice, to express their own creativity, and to experience the transformational power of singing.

We have taken and offered singing workshops with Brian Tate, Tony Backhouse, Siobhan Robinsong, Denis Donnelly, Eric Dozier, Edwin Coppard and others.

We have two EveryBodySings! groups, one in Lantzville on Tuesday evenings 7–9pm and one in downtown Nanaimo, Thursday mornings, from 10am–noon.

The Everyone Can Sing Community Choir is a non-auditioned choir, open to anyone who would like to sing fun, beautiful and uplifting songs in harmony with others, simply for the pure enjoyment of singing. The choir is open to anyone, regardless of musical background or confidence level. We sing songs from different cultures and traditions that evoke serenity, glad hearts, exuberance and an overall sense of well-being. Providing a safe place to sing for all who attend and creating beautiful music together in community are at the heart of each session.

Contact Marshall Carter re: interest in the choir.
