Ubuntu Franklin and Ubuntu Dillsboro meet in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and are open to anyone who has a desire to sing in harmony with others. We sing songs from around the world and songs from our own local traditions. No singing or musical experience is required. All the songs are taught aurally (by ear) using traditional singing styles.

Both groups meet in 10 week terms with breaks between terms. Public performance is not the goal of either group. Call Tom for more information and for references from current singers.

Singing for the joy of it. Voices Rising is a non-auditioned, non-performing, oral-tradition community choir in Central Oregon.

Join for one of our seasons (Spring, Fall, Winter), or at one of our one-off events. All are welcome

The We Are The ONE Choir of Song and Poetry aspires to create a community united through the joyous, sublime practice of choral singing and speaking in beauty and harmony. The choir invites members of all ages and abilities into a deep dialogue with sound and silence, vocalizing and listening, movement and stillness, ritual and spontaneity. By embodying sacred songs and poems together, the We Are The ONE Choir actively cultivates balance within each member and with the human, natural, and spiritual worlds.

We bloom together where we are — and like dandelion seeds, our voices scatter and take root where they’re needed.

All voices are invited to join us in exploration of the healing power of song. We learn by ear and heart, singing songs born from the global Ubuntu Choir Network that bring us together and deepen our connection to ourselves, each other and something larger.

In our rural community, We S!NG creates a space for connection that honours diverse beliefs, removes barriers to music-making and practices leading by example rather than top-down instruction. We approach singing with gentleness and patience, trusting that the notes will come through listening and repetition. We’re learning together, valuing what we each bring and honouring the sources of the songs we sing.

Thursday afternoons. Please e-mail or call to confirm this season’s schedule.

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!

Leading songs speaking to our collective human experiences, and singing songs to build community, connection and to share love and the joy of living. Every voice is welcome.
Weekly choir sessions, pop up events and sacred outdoor sings.
