Oh Sing!, previously OSSIA the Owen Sound Singers in Accord includes men and women of all ages and skills in a relaxed, playful atmosphere. Some have been singing all their life, and others are coming to singing for the first time.

What’s the format? We start with warm-ups and tips on how to get the most out of a choral experience, how to listen… Yes, we sing with our ears! There are some simple rounds or layered songs from different parts of the world learned by ear, something more challenging in SATB (four part harmony) with written music, and we always end with something gentle and meditative. Most songs address our love for the planet, our need to belong, and our desire for heightened awareness… And some just make us laugh.

Not everyone chooses to sing in the concerts, but those who do say they enjoy watching the faces of the audience when they’re invited to sing along. We are pleased to donate the proceeds to worthy causes.
