Hearts in harmony.
Form a small group and go sing with seniors, lonely or sick people. No need to be a singer: all it takes is a big heart.
The first Saturday of February, every year, all around the world.
An hour of songs, memories that last
Hands holding a songbook, voices finding the words again, smiles lighting up. See what Sol-La-S’Day brings to life in a room.
Four steps, no rehearsal
We create a spontaneous choir with the elders. One song, one page turned, holding a hand, sharing a smile… and the magic happens!
Form a group
2 to 10 people: friends, family, colleagues, neighbours or a choir.

“Wonderful — an 85-year-old woman wanted to dance with us.”
“When we left, they weren’t the only ones with a bigger smile.”

See how to participateAn idea born in Quebec, a wave that goes around the world
Imagined in 2004 by Julie Lecours, the first Sol-La-S’Day brought together eight groups in February 2005. Since then, sol-la-singers have sung in every region of Quebec and far beyond. Our dream: to get the whole planet singing in February 2030.

A songbook, a few friends, an hour or two of your time. That’s all it takes to brighten someone’s day.
