Nothing lifts your heart more than singing songs you love! Sounds Good Choir offers you a joyful hour of sing-along fun led by professional conductors, singers and musicians.
Like our in-person choirs, we offer two sessions of each sing-along: one for older adults 55+ (Sounds Good!) and one designed for persons with memory issues and their care partners (Good Memories).
Each program is offered free of charge over Zoom. After you register, you’ll receive a weekly email with information about the coming week’s sing-along and how to tune in!

¡Canta! Radio Recuerdos is a unique opportunity for Spanish-speaking seniors to connect, reminisce, and sing a variety of Spanish songs with live guitar playing, all from the comfort of their home. Led in Spanish by the singer and guitarist Juan Díes, co-founder of the two-time Grammy-nominated Sones de México Ensemble, and hosted by program assistant Alfredo Hernández, this virtual sing-along is a celebration of Latin music classics from Mexico and other Latin American countries. Each Zoom session features a different musical theme, from rancheras, boleros, baladas, and tropicales, to rock ‘n’ roll and more. Archived video of the last session available for viewing on demand. Lyrics and tech support are in Spanish. Free.
