Music & Choir

Our Musicians

Westwoodians love live music in genres as diverse as our personal beliefs. Do you like to sing? Or play an instrument? We’d love to hear from you.

Westwood is proud to have a roster of talented local musicians who perform regularly in our Sunday services and other events.

Harmonia Choir

The opportunity to sing together is an important part of the Westwood community. We meet weekly for practice and perform for Westwood community events. The Winter Solstice service, December 21, is always a Harmonia favourite.

Anyone who likes to sing is welcome to participate. Stay tuned to this web site for notices and further information about singing opportunities.
