Singing together is a celebration of Spirit in community!
Lynn Valley Voices Community Choir
"There's a place for your voice here"
LVV is a non-auditioned choral group open to anyone with a passion for singing and a desire for sharing that passion through singing in an ensemble. Singing a variety of musical styles from around the globe, Lynn Valley Voices repertoir focuses on universal themes of compassion, beauty, inclusivity, harmony, and humour and draws on the wisdom of world music representing many cultures and traditions.
Why this Choir?
This is a safe and welcoming place where you are encouraged to explore your voice in an affirming and inclusive environment. Auditions are non-determining, designed to help you understand where you’re at rather than define your limits. It’s also a space to learn new skills, express your creativity, and grow with confidence. Beyond music-making, it fosters meaningful community connections and lasting relationships. At its heart, it offers the opportunity to engage in a spiritual practice while singing a wide variety of music.
Find Your Voice Here
With Lynn Valley Voices, singers have a unique opportunity for small and large performances, with concerts at both Lynn Valley United Church and in the wider community. In an informal, non-stress audition, singers are assessed to help determine the section best suited to their range and skills. LVV also has opportunities to learn new skills through weekly practice arcs and interactions with professional musicians at retreats and/or workshops.
Lynn Valley Voices is a safe space to discover your voice while engaging in practice, community and fellowship.
Lynn Valley Voices is a Spiritual Practice
For those who enjoy singing, this is an opportunity to find your voice, learn how to use it within a community of singers, and develop a regular practice. This process supports both skill-building and personal discovery, helping you find your place on the musical journey. Because singing also draws from a deeper, more spiritual place within us, choir rehearsals become a meaningful practice in themselves.
Each rehearsal follows a weekly “practice” structure that begins with vocal warm-ups and exercises, along with gentle body stretches to help you center and ground yourself as you prepare to sing. In the main portion of rehearsal, you work on new repertoire and develop your understanding of each piece, learning and building skills together. With continued home practice, you deepen and reinforce what you’ve explored each week, forming an ongoing “practice arc” that supports steady growth over time.
The Lynn Valley Voices Experience
Choir practice is part of the process to build your confidence and grow your voice & musical skills. You reach this goal through regular rehearsal experiences & performances. With regular small & large concert opportunities, you develop more performance and communications skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. The Choir experience also helps with the goal of having accomplished pieces to share with audiences. Members notice that performances are better than they expect because of the structured practice arcs for both rehearsals and performances. Singing and communication music helps to bring the singers and the audience joy & inspiration.
