Acapellaboratory Singing Gang

pattipowellchoirs@gmail.com | 604-999-9203

Wednesday nights 7-9pm
Holy Cross Anglican church hall, near Main and 30th
4580 Walden Street
 

Come together and make something bigger than just the turn of rhythm, harmony and words. Singing can change the world. We sing positive-vibe tunes, acapella and accompanied, sacred and not-so-sacred, some old, some current and of-the-moment. 

We find that singing together counters isolation, hopelessness and powerlessness in our world. 

All levels of experience – as long as you breathe, even occasionally, you are welcome!

We offer warm, communal and fun-loving times. Families welcome.

Usually 3 terms per year to sign up for, between 8 and 12 weeks long. About $160 for 12 weeks, some subsidy available.
Write to pattipowellchoirs@gmail.com for info and to register.

  • 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!
