Sooke Community Choir welcomes You...

We are Singing Again!

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!

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.

Five smiling women stand outside on a sunny day, wearing matching red vests with black traditional Coast Salish designs over white shirts and black skirts or pants. They are holding black folders and standing on a gravel surface with greenery and a clear blue sky in the background.

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.

Two people are sitting at a table and smiling at the camera in a brightly lit room. They are both wearing red and black vests over white shirts.

Voices...

"As a newbie to the Island I went looking for a friendly choir I could join. The warm welcome, the positive encouragement and the eclectic choice of music at SCC all drew me in. Now after several years of being a member, I appreciate the way the choir stays true to the sense of community our name implies. We focus on inclusion and coming together to sing for the joy of it while expanding our voices through strong leadership."
