✨ Sonja Moller-Hatfield did an incredible job of bringing to life Batya Levine’s “We Rise.” Her arrangement was powerful, and she also blew us away with the solo vocals she added on top. Wowza! The room was filled with a powerful, prayerful energy that brought some of us to tears.

Our next Kingston Pop Choir session is on September 27th at the Tett Centre. Mike Compeau and Rob Lord, two of the founding members of the Road Apples (Tragically Hip Tribute Band), will be teaching us a couple of their favourite songs by The Tragically Hip! All voices are welcome. No previous singing experience is required.

On August 23rd, we had the joy of hosting Sonja Moller-Hatfield as the special guest for the 8th-ever session of the Kingston Pop Choir. Sonja taught us her arrangement of Stan Rogers’s “Barrett’s Privateers,” and before long, we felt like we were part of Barrett’s crew, sloshing our mugs of tea around on the deck of the Antelope! ;) Song is such an awesome medium for storytelling!

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… ✨

Today, we have the entire Find Your Voice Music Therapy clinical team (minus the lovely Kastin Bradley at our K'jipultuk/ Halifax, NS location) featured in our first Music Monday of 2022!

We are excited to share this collaboration from the Find Your Voice Music Therapy team! There was so much joy coming together to jam and create this compilation of feel-good songs. We know how powerful music can be, and there is nothing like the gift of creating music in community spaces.

Note: this video was recorded during a team jam session when we were able to safely gather in person.

From experience, we know how music can deeply connect us to different life stages. From the instruments to the vocals or even the lyrics to help us process our own experiences and stories.

Sonja shares here how the song "Touch The Sky" is meaningful to her:

"It was really hard to choose just one song that I would call the soundtrack for my life. There are few songs that encompass all of who I am, and touch on everything I've been through. When I look at my life though, one thing that stands out to me is my wanderlust, and need for adventure. The song I selected is "Touch the Sky" by Julie Fowlis (featured in the movie Brave), and I think this song describes my wanderlust beautifully. The themes of nature and adventure speak to me, as I have a deep connection with the outdoors. I spent all of my summers throughout middle school and high school participating in intense backcountry camping trips, and one of my first summer jobs had me living in Algonquin Park for four months. Taken literally, the song speaks to the wanderlust in me. When looked at through a symbolic or metaphorical lens though, the song speaks to another part of who I am, and that is the part of me that is ever striving to achieve my goals, and to become who I envision myself to be in this life. "Chase the wind" is not just about being outside, it's about going after my dreams, and "touch the sky" is about attaining them. In addition to all of this, the instrumentation of this song is very much inspired by Scottish culture, and includes many instruments I feel culturally connected to. Many musical elements present in this song are present in my own music-making, and so this song is also a representation of who I am as a musician."
