Embrace community through the joy of song

We welcome adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), and other intellectual or developmental disabilities to join our Symphonic Passion Chorus choir.

The choir brings together 25-30 participants, led by clinical staff and volunteers, including instrumental accompanists.

No musical experience is necessary! The main requirement is a love of singing. We sing and use books with a combination of pictorial symbols and words to make the singing experience accessible.
