Come and Sing!

Choirs directed by Linda

Do you love to sing?

There is so much that makes choral singing compelling –

The variety of sounds – upbeat, mellow
The styles – folk, pop, show tunes, spirituals, ethnic...
How it touches your heart
Supportive, friendly people
Making harmonies you could never make on your own

How a bunch of “anybodies” can make a great combined sound
It’s inspiring

3 Alarm Choir

An occasional “mob-sing” in 3-part harmony, modeled after Toronto's Choir Choir Choir. My partner Luke and I teach one pop tune per night, all learned by ear on the spot. Everyone gets the song lyrics, and no sheet music. We learn the song in about 90 minutes, take a break, then video the “finished” product. Prerequisite: a good sense of FUN!

Resonance

The choir of the Unitarian Fellowship of Peterborough Resonance sings for Sunday morning service, one Sunday per month. The music ranges from bouncy to meditative to inspiring. It always has a spiritual connection, but as with all things Unitarian-Universalist, it is not sectarian. It’s an SATB choir that rehearses weekly. Prerequisites: be able to carry a tune and enjoy camaraderie.
