Welcome to the Sweet Soul Choir


We’ve been bringing lively and uplifting music to Victoria and the Island for 21 years! Led by our talented director, Checo Tohomaso, we perform a unique and vibrant mix of Motown, Soul, R&B, Soul Gospel, and more. We incorporate choreography, adding extra fun to our performances.

Our most recent concert was on December 6th at North Douglas Church and benefited the Victoria Youth Empowerment Society, which offers a full continuum of services—prevention, intervention, treatment, and education—for young people, their families, and the broader community.

Meet Our Director, Checo Tohomaso

Our enthusiastic director, Checo Tohomaso, has performed all around the world with notable performers like Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, and the Commodores
