Big Soul Project Community Choir (BSP) is one of Ottawa’s largest community choirs, whose 100+ members share songs of hope, love and peace to promote a sense of joy and empowerment. BSP fuses the vocal energy of a large choir with the smooth sound of its talented house band, Deep Groove.

Our motto, “Lifting you Higher,” applies to both choir members and audiences, who feel lifted spiritually and emotionally by our fresh, upbeat brand of choral music, with inspiration from R&B, gospel, soul, Motown, rock, and folk music.

Established in 1997, BSP has gained a reputation over the years for its ability to entertain and inspire, leading audiences to sing along and even dance in the aisles. We are also known for our support of local charitable organizations. Both traditions happily continue today.

In 2022, BSP was excited to celebrate both its 25-year history and the return to live rehearsals and concerts after two long years of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also celebrated the arrival of our immensely talented Music Director, Tahlia DeCorso.

Since then, BSP and the Deep Groove Band have had a wonderful time working together under Tahlia’s creative leadership to prepare and perform our songs, from the funky to the festive, to lift both our audiences and our community higher.

We look forward to singing and dancing with you at our next concert!
