Music is a core value here at Symons Valley United Church!

 We have four choirs - one for every age group! 

The Church Mice

Our youngest singers, aged 3 years to the end of kindergarten, meet with their leaders, Cindy and Kathy, during Sunday School time.  They delight the congregation with their lively action songs.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Sunshine Smilers

Children who are in Grades 1 to 6 meet with Donna after church for half an hour in the boardroom to sing together.  Our worship services are enhanced by the upbeat musical selection of this group.
 
   
 
 
Salt Shakers
 
The Youth Choir is for young people from Grade 7 up through university.  This group tackles more challenging repertoire in two and three-part harmony - and they have lots of fun singing together!  They meet for half an hour after the service in the Youth Room with Ann as their conductor.  
 
 
  
 
Voices in Harmony
This choir is for any adults who enjoy singing.  With four and five-part harmony we truly enjoy making music together.    This choir sings every Sunday during the church services from the beginning of September through the end of June.  We delight in making music together at the practices on Thursday evenings from 7:30 -9:30 P.M.    
 
 
Dinner Theatre 

For four days each spring Symons Valley United Church is transformed into a Dinner Theatre setting!  Guests come to enjoy Dinner and/or Dessert and a Musical Theatre Production.  In May of 2009, the actors presented "The Last Resort" - a musical comedy set in a remote fishing resort. Feedback from the audiences included comments like "Great restaurant - too bad it's only open four days a year!" "It was better than some of the 'professional" productions I've seen!" 

Our 2010 Production Race Day is scheduled May 27-30th.

 

Concerts

Throughout the year, many concerts, recitals and dance productions are held at Symons Valley United Church.  The worship space was also designed to be a performance space and features theatrical lighting, a sprung stage floor for dance performances, a state-of-the-art sound/video projection system, tiered seating for the audience, excellent acoustics, behind-the-stage access from stage left to stage right, a full-sized Petrof grand piano, and "wings" on either side of the stage.  Performers have included Honens International Piano Competition 2006 first laureate, Minsoo Sohn; renowned Vocalist/Bassoonist Michael Hope; and Folksinger/Songwriter Paul Rumbolt, to name just a few.  Click on the "news" tab to find out about upcoming events.
