Our goal at BVU is to create an opportunity for folks to sing together with others as a Spiritual Practice. It is a chance to come together to sing with your whole body and soul, to learn some new music and ways of engaging in group singing that fills up your whole self and leaves you feeling renewed and refreshed. This is a non-audition choir with two terms and a concert for sharing with others at the end of each term (December 8 at 3PM) but this is not the prime reason to gather. We gather simply to sing and nurture your soul through the text and the tunes sung together.
To help offset the costs of this choir, a $95 registration fee per term ($45 students) is requested but partial or full subsidies are available, and money should not be a barrier to participation. You are welcome to come for a few sessions to try it out at no cost or obligation. We are confident in the spiritual practice we are providing and the high quality of the leadership. If, however, the mix isn’t quite right for you, we understand. Please register online at broadviewunited.com
