What is Breath of Aire?

Breath of Aire is a local choir made up of both professional and recreational singers who want to make a difference in the community, and in the lives of others. We sing because we enjoy lifting up others in time of need. We perform throughout the year, which starts in September and concludes in June when we record our album. A unique attribute of Breath of Aire is that we are called on throughout the year to bring joy and happiness to individuals or families in times of grief and need. We don't just perform in front of large audiences. Our most touching and life changing experiences have been when a group of our members will minister to the sick at their bedside, provide some inspiration while they battle illness, or helping communities whose plays or performances may be a "few people short." Yes, we are a choir, but we do so much more than just sing for large groups of people.

Meet the Conductor

Dr. J. Bayard DuBois has been the conductor of Breath of Aire since it was formed in 1999. Back then, we were a small group of about 20-25 singers who sang for small groups and for church services. Over the years, we have grown to a membership of almost 100 singers who participate throughout the season, and we perform for local communities and organizations, helping those who help others.
