Join Cathy Baker and Dick Jackson of the Gettin’ Higher Choir for a scenic oceanside walk with “Outside Voices” outdoor drop-in singing. Typically, we meet somewhere near the shore in Esquimalt around noon, and we alternate singing and walking the shoreline, wrapping up after about 90 minutes.

We plan to be out every week, rain or shine, but please subscribe to get notices each Thursday by 10:00am, confirming the details of exactly where and when we will meet that day! The songs and the walking path we take are very accessible!

All are welcome to join in — donations to keep us going are welcome. We look forward to singing with you!

There is a proverb from Zimbabwe that states “If you can walk, you can dance… If your can talk, you can sing.”

Raise your voice in glorious song with heart-felt melodies, soulful gospel songs and rousing spirituals, meditative chants, luscious layered songs and robust rounds. Songs from the sublime to the ridiculous!

These are non-auditioned choirs for those who love to sing and those who don’t think they can. This is a safe, non-judgemental circle where ALL voices are welcome. There is no need to read music. All songs are taught in the traditional method of call and response.

If you desire an added boost of endorphins coursing through your body… SING FOR PURE JOY! and claim the birthright of a singing species.
