After two wonderful and successful Christmas performances in Clearwater and Barriere, Leah Jones is ready to take on some new music and new choir members starting on the very last week of January.
“I would like to thank all those that helped out at the performances – it couldn't have happened without you,” she said.
“We generated some healthy donations to the food bank and had some money donations as well, so thank you to the community for helping out those in need and thank you for coming to the performances.”
The spring concert will be (again) - centered around the theme of peace. The music will speak to peace but also will have 'peaceful' songs – some will be familiar and some not. Anyone who wishes to sing in the community choirs is welcome – no experience is necessary. A willingness to learn and a happy spirit is all that is required. Music links for most of the music will be available for you to sing along with at home.
“I have what I like to call 'learning choirs' and you will learn a lot about singing, just from being a member of the choir,” Jones said.
