Story
Pacific Harmony is an adult community choir that embraces a rhythmic and lyrical blend of pop tunes, gospel, jazz, show tunes, and various ethnic influences. Our choir aims to create a harmonious experience through music that uplifts and energizes.
Our focus is on nurturing artistic expression and creating a platform for music enthusiasts to come together and showcase their talents. We welcome all voices and celebrate the power of music to connect people.
We sing a variety of SATB arrangements in mostly english. There will also be opportunities for soloists as we discover new and timeless choral music that inspire and bring joy and fun! Here are some examples of what we might explore:

About the director
Meet Mandy Weston!
Mandy received her BMus degree from the University of Lethbridge, majoring in piano performance. Early on she discovered a love for collaborating with singers and instrumentalists and basically hasn’t stopped! For the last 20+ years, aside from teaching piano privately, she has been directing and running various talent shows, musical events, choirs, and stage performances, primarily for her church community.
Additionally, Mandy has enjoyed accompanying numerous school choirs where her children were attending. For the last number of years she has had the privilege of accompanying Reynolds Secondary School choirs under the direction of Katy Kerr.
This experience has renewed her excitement for quality choral singing. It has ignited her desire to provide a place where community members can expect a high standard, and ultimately, find the joy and unity that can come with a dedicated commitment to singing together.
