GCYXE, the Gospel Choir Experience, put on by Sonia Reid Studios and CHI Productions is an opportunity for anyone and everyone to experience and participate in an energetic gospel choir for a weekend. 

Who can attend? You can! And brings some friends!

The inaugural Gospel Choir Experience is happening right here in Saskatoon. This event is an opportunity for anyone and everyone to participate in an energetic gospel choir weekend workshop. I’d like to reach out especially to any worship team members but also anyone in your congregation or the greater community.

Starting Friday, May 31st in the evening and through the day on Saturday, June 1st, we will be hosting a learning and performance opportunity where registrants can learn vocal techniques and experience singing energetic gospel music with others from our community. While participants will learn more about Gospel music, the focus is on making fun, joyful music. Songs learned will be by artists such as Toronto Mass Choir and include music written by local songwriter David Hutchinson, as well as music by Maverick City and Kirk Franklin.

Practice tracks will be made available for people to sing along and get acquainted with the music prior to the workshop. Then on May 31st, we begin singing! More singing on Saturday, an included lunch, and a rehearsal with the band. Finally, the choir will perform in a live Finale Concert at 7pm on June 1st. This concert is open to the public so that our friends, family, and community members can join us.
