Soul of the World Multicultural Choir: L'arbre est dans ses feuilles

Soul of the World Multicultural Choir

The Soul of the World Multicultural Choir is a community project celebrating diversity. We aim to bring people together by sharing in the rhythms, poetic language and harmonies of the world. Singers help choose international songs, develop arrangements and co-create new music as well. We also discuss ways to create harmonious community and share our ideas through our music. All levels, languages, ages and abilities are welcome, no audition necessary. (Youth under 19 must be accompanied by an adult.) The group is facilitated by Singer, songwriter, voice coach and arts facilitator Heidi McCurdy. This project is made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia. www.harmonyartsandwellness.com
