What is Pickering Voices?
PICKERING VOICES: OUR PREMIER ADULT CHOIR | AGES 18+
Pickering Voices offers adults (and teenagers 18 and older) the chance to sing pop, rock, and other fun songs without the need to audition, read music or have any previous singing experience.
The music ranges from songs you grew up with to those you and your kids love today. There is zero pressure. All it requires is a love for music and having fun! Pickering Voices is more than a choir – it’s a musical community, a creative, social, and inclusive space.
Find your voice. Make new friends. Participate in something fun and meaningful. Registration is open and rehearsals begin in January.
NO AUDITIONS
Please join us for a free rehearsal session any time. We welcome any and all new members, regardless of musical experience; there are no auditions whatsoever.

Pickering Voices
Pickering Voices is our original adult pop choir. We welcome everyone, whether you’re a seasoned singer or have never performed in your life and just really want to sing and have fun!
Rehearsal cycles typically run for ten to twelve weeks and culminate in a performance at the end of the session.
The goal of Pickering Voices is to build community, and we provide several social opportunities outside of rehearsal for our members to get to know each other. We also strive to help our community through charity and several outreach performances each year.
