$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!

BSP Wakes Up and Sings with Santa Again!

Posted on December 17, 2017

On Saturday December 2, a group of about 20 BSP choir members along with Roxanne Goodman, our musical director, and Paul Hunsberger, our keyboardist, sang for the "Wake Up With Santa" event at CHEO (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario).  The event is sponsored by the CHEO Staff Forum for the children of CHEO employees.  This is the second time BSP has participated in the event.

Our singers, dressed in pyjamas and nightgowns and adorned with festive headgear, sang a set of Christmas songs to entertain the kids while they waited to see Santa. And BSP got to have our pictures taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus and with the CHEO Bear. 

It was a great way to kick off the holiday season!
