The MANY VOICES singing group follows a very informal and flexible format, with the main priority being to offer a place for people to sing together. It is a year-round program divided into quarters - members can join or leave anytime and attend as many or as few performances and rehearsals as they like. This group primarily sings unaccompanied, with occasional guest pianists or guitar accompaniment. Sing for the sake of singing and sharing music with others in the community.
JOIN ANYTIME - ALL ABILITIES WELCOME
Whether you’d like to just sing a little bit with us, or want to add MORE singing on top of one of our other choirs, we welcome anybody who’d like to come out.

Payment Options & Sign-Up
This program is meant to provide a low-barrier option for community group singing. We’re asking for a $40 fee each quarter (3 months at a time). Your first payment will include your $10 membership for the year, with the remaining amounts covering basic administrative and materials costs. We are also implementing a “pay-what-you-can” model for this program – if $40 is too much right now, please let us know what you are able to contribute.
For youth up to age 24, there is funding available through the Dawson Creek Arts & Wellness Fund.
