Just in Time Choirs Fall 2025 Concert Singers' Choice 20th Anniversary

Just in Time Choirs present their Fall 2025 Concert Singers' Choice 20th Anniversary

The Just in Time Choirs are marking an exciting milestone, their 20th Anniversary Year of connecting through song!

To mark the momentous occasion of their 20th Anniversary, the Just in Time Choirs’ first concert of the 25/26 season is their “20th Anniversary Celebration Part 1: Singers’ Choice”. All concert selections were voted in by choir members from among hundreds of songs that have been performed over the past two decades. Two Fall Concerts will be performed at the Sid Williams Theatre: Saturday November 29th at 7:00 and a matinee, Sunday November 30th at 2:00.

In the spring, they’ll be hosting their second concert, “Part 2: Director’s Choice” with favourite songs chosen by choir director, Wendy Nixon Stothert. Come be a part of a year-long celebration of 20 years of music and community.

The Just in Time Choirs consist of three ensembles: Unplugged (everyone welcome), and the smaller auditioned groups, the Jems (treble) and Vocal Minority (mixed). They will be joined by skilled musical collaborators: Sean Mooney on piano, Beau Stocker on drums, Steve Wallace on bass, and Jeff Drummond on guitar.

These renowned contemporary choirs are known for their versatility; their performances cover a wide spectrum of musical styles from jazz, ballads, folk, swing, soul, and contemporary pop to classic rock. You’ll hear Queen’s enduring masterpiece, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the foot stomping “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers, “Chain of Fools” by the immortal Aretha Franklin, Stevie Nicks’ haunting “Landslide”, the Boss and the E-Street Band’s timeless “Dancing in the Dark” plus more from The Eagles, Michael Buble, Gladys Knight, Eurythmics, and many more!

The concert finale brings all three choirs together to sing Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and finally, another Queen classic, “Somebody to Love”.

Just in Time’s founder and choral conductor, Wendy Nixon Stothert is excited to celebrate! “The singers have chosen an excellent setlist for this first part of our 20th Anniversary highlights,” says Nixon Stothert. “Back in 2005, I never could’ve imagined the robust, committed, and wonderfully friendly community that the choirs have become. The choirs’ Council has been instrumental in creating highly efficient administration and so many fun opportunities for the singers. I’m so proud of the musicianship we’ve achieved and the connections we’ve made.”

The delight is infectious and the presentation by each of the three choirs is uplifting and entertaining. The audience is often tapping their feet and singing along - and maybe even doing a little seat dancing!
