The Sound Connection choir is an all-inclusive, non-auditioned choir for women and men (18 years and over) who love singing. The Sound Connection is a friendly and encouraging group where we sing contemporary and world music.

We love to make connections and build community through the power of song.

Sound Connection choir uses the age-old tradition of oral teaching, that is teaching by ear, using lyrics, call and response, and recordings online.

Vocalists will receive instruction on song parts, harmony, as well as guidance on vocal technique and voice care. 

The group will have the opportunity to perform at local open mics and community events, should they choose.

No experience necessary — but an eagerness to learn a must. Attendance at all sessions is encouraged.

• Is based on the belief that together we can all sing well
• Recognizes singing as a birthright
• Is committed to building community through song and the joy of being together
• Is non-auditioned and celebrates the contribution of ALL voices – inexperienced or otherwise!
• Ensures a safe singing environment
• Works to enhance singing in our daily lives
• Focuses on songs about the human condition and cultural stories from around the globe
• Operates largely in the oral tradition
• Focuses on the process of singing. Although beautiful songs and harmonies emerge, the end product is not a key focus of this choir.

It’s simply a splendid bonus!

Welcome friends, and friends of friends! This weekly event is led by Cathy Baker and Dick Jackson of the Gettin’ Higher Choir from our home in Victoria, BC, using Zoom. Singing is every Wednesday from 7:00 to 8:30pm Pacific Time! 

When the weather is good, and the day is long, we bring our singing to Barnard Park in Vic West, welcoming singers to join us there, or also on Zoom. To receive emails on Wednesdays with song lyrics, and to confirm if we’ll be out in the park, sign up at this link.

We want to nourish the connections within our singing community and beyond! Our hope is that our time together lifts your spirits and fills your heart with songs to carry you through the week.

We will mainly feature a wide variety of quick-teach songs, chants, rounds—some familiar, some brand-new, and the occasional ballad or popular song.

All are welcome to join in — donations to keep us going are welcome. We look forward to singing with you!
