Sooke Community Choir welcomes You...

Formed in 1989, the Sooke Community Choir is a non-profit, non-auditioned singing haven for joyful voices in our seaside town.

We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from September to May. We perform Spring and Christmas concerts as well as participate in community events such as The Spring Sing Out with Sooke Schools, Remembrance Day at the Legion, and for our seniors at Ayre Manor.

If you are interested in a musical milieu where you will expand your vocal skills, musical knowledge and enjoy joining voices in harmonic song, this may be what you are looking for.

We look forward to Singing with You!

Our choir performing with members of various ages, wearing black outfits with red vests. They are holding music sheets and singing, with some smiling. The scene is lively and joyful.

Three people stand close together in front of a window, smiling at the camera. The two younger girls on either side wear red and black vests over white shirts. The woman in the middle wears glasses and a black top.

A group of people are singing in a choir. They are holding black folders with sheet music and wearing white shirts with red and black vests. The choir is performing indoors under natural light from a window, with a gold cross visible in the background.

Allie, a smiling woman dressed in a 1920s flapper outfit with a red fringe dress, pearl necklaces, and a feathered headband stands indoors. She has glasses and drapes a black fur shawl over her shoulders.

Voices...

"I relocated to Sooke from Calgary in 2021 and as a new person in town who works from home, I was struggling to find ways to build community in my personal life. During my time in Calgary, I had been a member of multiple choirs and when I joined the Sooke Community Choir in January of 2023, I found a group of people who not only share a common interest with me, but who genuinely care about each other. Sooke Community Choir truly embodies the spirit of community and am so glad to have found this amazing group of humans. I’d encourage anyone to come join us!"
