With over 4 million likes and even more millions of views, a Prince George based choir is going viral on TikTok.

Nove Voce is a Prince George based community choir that believes in supporting and performing music by female Canadian composers. The choir and its members have now been introduced to millions of people all over the world thanks to its fun and engaging TikTok videos.

Nove Voce’s TikTok account, which has over 127 thousand followers, is run by choir members Naomi Dugdale and Lauren Iwanciwski.

The groups most popular videos follow the “guess the singer trend” where a group of singers all lip sync at the same time and the viewer has to pick out which one is actually singing.

One of the groups “guess the singer videos” posted on Oct. 31 has been seen 19 million times, has over 700 thousand likes and 75 thousand comments.

The videos are often followed up by a reveal where the group shows which member was actually singing.

Another TikTok posted on Nov. 26 has 16 million views and over 347 thousand likes with more than 40 thousand people making guesses in the comments.

Aside from its wildly popular TikTok account, Nove Voce is no strange to success.

In 2019 the choir won first place at the National Music Festival and then travelled to Gothenburg Sweden to compete in the Grand Prix of Nations and the Fourth European Choir Games.

More recently they were invited to open for the classic disco band Boney M during the band’s performance at the CN Centre and were invited back on stage by lead singer Liz Mitchell during the finale.

 They of course documented it on the experience on their TikTok as well.

Nove Voce Choral Society was formed in 2005 by a small group of choir director Robin Norman's accomplished voice students.  

The initial group started as volunteers for the Salvation Army's Christmas Kettle Campaign, singing carols in various locations, and raising over $1,000.

It has since grown into a community choir that is 27 members strong and performs a regular choral season, as well as sing for charity and community events, paid gigs, and collaborations with local and regional performers.
