Fall Sessions Begin

Who we are
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia and lead by Choral Director Cynthia Friesen, the Helena Choir is a community program organized by Health Arts Society with a mission to foster connection through the joy of music.
All singing levels are most welcome.
Through music we aim to:
Foster wellness and connection for individuals with cognitive decline & their caregivers
Create an inclusive, low-stress, intergenerational environment
Strengthen our community through the joy of singing together
How we do it:
We meet weekly in South Vancouver and Fairview (2 cohorts) for 1 hour 15 minutes of singing followed by 30 minutes of coffee & conversation. Fall sessions begin September 2026. Email helenachoir@healtharts.org to register.
At the end of each 10 week session, there is an optional music showcase
More than just singing, it’s about connection, community, and the simple happiness that comes from making music together.
