Spring 2025

First rehearsal will be Thursday, January 9 at 6:45 until 8:15 pm at St John’s United Church.

Saturday Choir Retreat:  Choir members check your emails for details from Sara about the upcoming choir retreat to be held on Saturday, January 11 (date and location to be confirmed). The choir retreat is an opportunity for a time of singing, a little (chair) yoga and to get into our new repertoire.  Sara will conduct some voicing work which will mean hearing individual sections or singers.

Chamber Choir- starting in the new year, we will add a chamber choir for singers who wish to audition and try for some music that is a little bit more challenging. Chamber choir rehearsals will take place after regular choir- 8:15 pm.  If you wish to be part of this smaller group, please email Sara and let her know. Singers for this choir must be able to sing in tune and learn their music independently, although she will make tracks for this group as well.

Christmas 2024

The choir has been working on a delightful selection of pieces for the upcoming Christmas concerts. Some will be joyous and uplifting while others will be gentle and reflective, magical, and majestic. Come and hear for yourself. We would love to have you join us.

Fall 2024

Suncoast Phoenix Community Choir will begin its fall season on September 5th at 6:30 pm with a social event to pick up new music and say hello, then our first rehearsal is on September 12th at 6:45 pm. Our rehearsal home is St. John’s United Church on Davis Bay Road in Davis Bay. New choir members are encouraged to contact our music director, Sara Douglas, for information.
