Always wanted to sing in a choir? This
is a friendly and inviting community choir for men and women who are new
to choirs, or experienced singers who want a choir that is not too demanding
of their time and commitments. Singers help one another out, and sometimes
practice together. We sing love songs, swing,
gospel, and folk songs from around the world. We also stretch our skills
with a bit of classical or jazz.
We put on two concerts a year, and
also a couple of smaller performances. Sometimes small ensembles are formed
by singers who want an extra challenge and an opportunity to "strut their
stuff". Thinking of joining a choir? Come once or twice to try it out and see how you like it.
New singers are welcome at the beginning of each new season, September and February.
Practice recordings are provided.
Practices are Tuesdays 7:30 – 9:30. Our new home for fall 2008 is the
community hall of Holy Cross Japanese Anglican Church, 4580 Walden, a short
block east of Main/30th. It's a pleasant space and neighbourhood.
Watch the calendar for season start dates and public performances. Also check out the Simple
Gifts website. Contact

"Finding
my way into Simple Gifts Choir was a stroke of good luck for me. You bring
joy, love, and cohesion to a group of folks who just want to sing together.
You bring us laughter, you help us find our voices, you make us feel like
part of a very special community."

HELP MAKE IT FUN FOR EVERYONE
Please avoid odours, even
pleasant ones, at lessons, classes, choir and performances. Perfume,
essential oils, hairspray, residual smoke or alcohol, can be troublesome,
especially for those with allergies.
