Spirit’s Call Choir is an inclusive, 50+ member non-audition community choir that sings to support personal, choral and global harmony. We sing from the heart for joy — a mixed repertoire from different languages, cultures and traditions, with uplifting themes, in glorious 4-part harmony. Those who love to sing and those who always thought they couldn’t are equally welcome. No singing experience necessary.  

Spirit’s Call Choir sings on TUESDAY evenings at Canyon Heights Church in North Vancouver and WEDNESDAY evenings at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Vancouver (downtown in the Westend).  Singers are welcome to come to one rehearsal per week or both!  The choir has two singing seasons – September to January and February to June.

Spirit’s Call Choir performs 2 benefit concerts a year and has contributed over $10,000 to worthy local causes including The Syrian Refugee Project, Harvest Project and The Canadian Mental Health Association.  

Before moving to Vancouver in 2014, Jeremy co-directed Winnipeg’s 170 voice Spirit’s Call Choir with Margaret Tobin.  Over Jeremy’s 8 years as musical director he helped the choir to record 2 CD’s and contribute over $180,000 to worthy causes locally and globally.  In 2010 the choir received the Mayor’s Volunteer Service Award.  We are hoping to achieve the similar results in Vancouver so, the more the merrier!  Join our fundraising choir by contributing your voice to our community.  Together we can make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of so many others.

Located in Kitsilano, we accept ALL voices. If you have a pulse, you’re in! No singing experience required. Even if you just sing in the shower.

We have singers of many levels of skill and experience, from nil to very much! We sing songs of many cultures, focussing on positive vibes, creating and supporting community relationships. Out of the Showers and Into the Streets!

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!
