Sing for Joy is an all-inclusive community choir in the City of Toronto, that gathers each week for the pure joy of singing together. We welcome all voices, and require no singing experience — just a heartfelt desire to sing with others in harmony. Our songs are learned in the oral tradition of call-and-response, drawing from many cultures and backgrounds. They reflect a diversity of roots, origins, and inspirations, bringing us home to our most original ways of being together in community. We choose songs that you can weave into the rhythm of your daily life, and take home to share with your loved ones. Join us, and sing your heart out!

We have two locations to choose from, in the east and west parts of Toronto.

$100 for 10-week session. Discounts for students, seniors, and families of 2 or more.
