Burstin’ with Broadway is now in its 7th full season, and when I started the choir I made it non-auditioned because I had the belief that there were a lot of great singers out there who either 1. could not read music, and 2. were too scared to audition. At first some people thought I [...]

I just wanted to thank you again for what was a tremendously joyful weekend for me. Making meals together, sharing favorite songs from the past, frantically rehearsing our barbershop number, performing in front of bright lights, gathering inspiration from Mr Emerson, and learning about the origins of BWB - retreat was a collection of noteworthy moments of joy I won't soon forget.
Time, love, talent and sacrifice from so many have built a lovely community of people that I am beyond thrilled to have found. - Steve Gillis-Moore - Bass
Wow! Can’t begin to thank you enough for the wonderful concert at Kay Meek this afternoon. Unlike most folks there, my husband and I had never been to one of your concerts before. And, before we came, I asked my husband if he wanted to invite his brother and wife to come along with us. He said, “Oh, no. This is an amateur group and I’m not sure my brother would enjoy that kind of thing”. Looking back, of course, we SHOULD have invited them – and next time we’ll know. As we watched and listened, the “amateur” in your group transcended into “professional” very quickly.
Congratulations to all involved. We loved the show!

On Tuesdays evenings, for two hours in North Vancouver, magic happens. 120 people of various ages and diverse backgrounds straggle into a rehearsal space. You can feel the energy begin to build. We leave our cares and worldly baggage at the door and, as we step through, we are transformed. We are now singers - nothing else matters. With Dominique and Caitlin to guide us we will craft, on occasion, a perfect tone, a luscious chord or an elegant phrase. Time stands still. We look at each other in awe at what we have created out of silence, for we have sensed the sublime. We sing, we laugh and we support and care for one another as a family, Who could ask for more from this life? On Tuesday evenings, for two hours in North Vancouver, MAGIC HAPPENS.

"We always have so much fun at rehearsals! Singing and laughter; two of the best things in life!"

"Dominique has a particular talent of creating a space for all to feel safe, but most importantly for each of us to find the courage to stretch beyond what we feel may feel to be possible."
