Calling all singers! Our next session starts with registration on September 9th. This season we are pleased to welcome Bev Barradell to direct us in Dickens' A Christmas Carol - a dramatic reading with an eclectic mix of seasonal music. 

We warmly invite new and returning members for what is sure to be a fun and rewarding season. Singers and wannabe singers welcome. No auditions necessary.

We sing a range of traditional and contemporary music, usually in 4 part harmony.

Don’t read music? We will help you.

Rehearsals will take place at the Pender Islands School on Wednesdays from 6pm to 8pm, culminating in concerts December 11,12, and 13.

Join us on September 9th starting 5pm to register and receive your music, followed by intros and a review of the program. 

Registration is $75 for the season. We can accept cash, cheque, and card. 

If you plan to participate but cannot make it to the first registration session, just send us an email to let us know! If the cost is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to penderchoir(at)gmail.com and we are committed to keeping the choir accessible.
