Formed in 1989, Sooke Community Choir provides choral entertainment for
our community of Sooke and surrounding areas. Our choir has 40 members

folksongs, traditional, and seasonal pieces.
We perform two concerts each

gatherings are other ways we provide a service to our community. The choir
has toured in Holland and Hong Kong.
