Kingston Pop Choir is delighted to welcome Sonja Moller-Hatfield as this month’s special guest artist! Join Sonja and a welcoming crew of strangers in downtown Kingston to sing a classic Canadian sea shanty and a modern song of resistance. 💪 Everyone is welcome, Sunday, August 23rd, 1 to 4 pm at Next Church!
About this month’s songs… 🎶
(Yessiree, we’ll be singing TWO songs this month!)
“Barrett’s Privateers” by Stan Rogers is one of Sonja’s favourite Canadian folk songs. She is particularly interested in the power of storytelling through song and the rich traditions of Canadian folk music. Barrett’s Privateers captures the spirit of Canada’s maritime heritage through its vivid narrative, memorable chorus, and enduring place in Canada’s folk music tradition.
“We Rise” by Batya Levine reflects Sonja’s connection to the Jewish community and its enduring values of justice, compassion, and collective responsibility. Rooted in Jewish spiritual tradition, the song is both a gentle prayer and a call to action, reminding us that meaningful change happens when we care for one another and rise together in solidarity.
A little more about Sonja… ✨
Sonja (she/her) is a board-certified music therapist and multi-instrumentalist who sings and plays violin and guitar. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy and is currently completing her Bachelor of Education at the University of Ottawa with a music teachable.

This is going to be such a great afternoon!
