A choir of Winnipeg nurses wants to bring joy to the world through the power of music.

The Winnipeg Nurses Choir held a holiday concert at St. Andrews River Heights United Church on Saturday, one of a dozen such events its 45 members can take part in each year.

Maurita Kiesman, a Health Sciences Centre nurse, says the group mainly performs at assisted living facilities. The events bring "a wonderful sense of community and commonality," she said.

"It's joyful, it's hopeful. It's all the things that I need to carry on in the hospital," she told CBC News on Saturday.

"Just to see the joy on people's faces is just a gift in my life."

The choir, formed in 2018, has 45 members but will always welcome more, said conductor Bill Quinn. (Prabhjot Singh Lotey/CBC)
