$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!

Summer Concert at Lansdowne Park

Posted on August 28, 2015

On July 12th, we had a wonderful time in the sultry heat of an early summer evening, performing a free concert at Lansdowne Park.

With the beautiful backdrop of the Aberdeen Pavilion and sporting our new summer BSP t-shirts, we performed a lot of our favourites, plus some new music.  We even had a bagpiper introduce our version of Amazing Grace.  Thanks so much to a large and enthusiastic audience, who sang along and danced to the music!  

Thanks also to the City of Ottawa for sponsoring the Lansdowne Summer Arts Series.
