$16,000 raised for the Ottawa Food Bank

Big Soul Project produced and performed their annual Christmas Concert at Carleton Dominion Chalmers Centre after 3 years of pandemic closures. The theme "Let's Celebrate!" was aptly named for everyone, choir, band, and audience alike, as we all felt very joyous during and after both the open dress rehearsal and the full concert.

Funds were raised within the choir to welcome guests to our concert who might not have otherwise been able to attend and we were so pleased they could share this joyful event with us.

This year we are thrilled to announce that between the two concerts BSP was able to raise $8,000 for the Ottawa Food Bank which was matched by an anonymous donor bringing the total to $16,000!! A reason to celebrate indeed.

We are looking forward to the next season and the opportunity to sing for other good causes in the Ottawa area. Hope to see you there!

Join the Choir

BSP embraces the values of inclusiveness, tolerance and respect and we love to have fun!

We are a non-audition choir that welcomes anyone with a passion for singing. This includes people who can read music as well as those who cannot.

Our annual dues cover our music director's fee, rental of rehearsal space and equipment, as well as costs associated with performances. Currently, dues are $240 per year, payable in full in January. Alternate arrangements may be made with the Membership Coordinator since BSP does not refuse membership based on financial circumstances.

Our performance wardrobe consists of a black robe and colourful sash. The multi-colour design represents diversity and life. We ask members to purchase a robe and sash for $30 to wear at concerts. This is in addition to the membership fee.

We are a scent free choir and ask that members and visitors refrain from using scented products.

Weekly rehearsals are held Monday evenings from 6:30-9:00 pm. Rehearsals are held at Fourth Avenue Baptist Church, located at the corner of Bank Street and Fourth Avenue in Ottawa's Glebe neighbourhood.

We continue to accept names here for our waiting list
