The Chorus

With members from Sooke, the West Shore and Victoria, the Sooke Phil Chorus is a community choir that sings choral orchestral music in collaboration with the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra and Choral Director Nicholas Fairbank. Singing in a community choir like the Sooke Phil is a great way to meet new people, challenge yourself musically, improve your vocal technique, and perform a wide range of classical choral repertoire.

SING WITH THE SOOKE PHILHARMONIC CHORUS!

Membership is open to anyone aged 16 and over. There is no audition, but previous choral experience is recommended. The annual membership fee, payable at the first rehearsal is $75. We rehearse on Saturday mornings at alternating venues in Sooke and Colwood.

If you are interested in learning more about us or would like to sing with us for the 2024-2025 season, please contact Nicholas Fairbank (info@fairbankmusic.ca). Join us and become part of the Sooke Philharmonic community!
