Kingston Pop Choir: "Sure Thing" by Miguel, with Special Guest Artist, Malobi
Each month in 2026, Kingston Pop Choir is bringing together a room full of people to learn and sing a song — no auditions, no experience required, no long‑term commitment. Each session features a local musical artist who leads the group in an arrangement of an original song or a beloved cover. These are one‑day choirs: playful, welcoming gatherings where folks come together to sing, connect, and create something bigger than themselves.
