Sisters in Song Choir Members
Sisters in Song is a community based women’s choir in Regina, Saskatchewan. We are women at all ages and stages of life, who love to get together and sing. Our focus is on developing creativity, vocal ability, and our relationships with each other as a community.
The choir was established in 2013 by sisters Corry Moriarty and Jill Scott and quickly became a favourite in the community. When Corry moved from Regina in 2017, the choir welcomed Corinne Groff as Artistic Director. Over the years the choir has evolved and adapted to ever changing circumstances, in both artistic direction and membership. Throughout that time, the group maintained it’s vision of joyful connection through song. In 2021, the group welcomed a new Musical Director, Alyssa Woolhether, and a new name – Sisters in Song.
We continue to grow and evolve, while embracing the qualities of belonging, wholehearted connection, and sisterhood. New members are always welcome.
We lift each other up!
