Singing is creative and liberating

Re The exalting power and joy of choirs, Timson, Nov. 27

Congratula­tions to Judith Timson for her insightful column on the healthy, psychologi­cal and social benefits of choirs, of working hard with many others on a piece of challengin­g music to ultimately reach a point of nearperfec­t pitch and harmony.

Yes, it is both creative and liberating from the cares of the outside world, while leading to a performanc­e that the rest of the world can enjoy.

As a member of an amazing choir of 120 diverse people, the Toronto Choristers, I can attest to the glory and passion of singing marvellous music. I hope others will try it. We are music. John Borovilos, Toronto
