“The Woods” Choral Workshop

In February 2025, the first ever choral workshop and performance of arrangements from “The Woods” took place over two days in Kimberley, BC with the Selkirk Secondary School Choir program (led by Sven Heyde and accompanied by Tim Plaitt). The choir performed five songs from the album: Lay Me Down (acapella), The Woods, Golden Boy, The Archer, and Clover (all of which were written and arranged by Cloud, with the latter three featuring accompaniments by Jenna Marie).

In addition to workshopping the repertoire, the choir also had mini-sessions with Cloud on vocal health and unlocking the “mix voice”, songwriting, accessing different vocal tonalities/vowel modification, audition cuts, and more.
