As summer comes to its end, the Harrison Hot Springs Multicultural Choir is busy planning for the next season, for the next year and - can you believe it? - for Spring, 2011. Songs have to be chosen, fundraisers to be organized and, as for 2011, the choir has just been given the "go ahead" by the B.C. Choral Federation to host their 2011 Seniors' Chor Fest!
The first fundraiser will be on October 3 and, in acordance with the time of the year, be an Octoberfest.
Wunderbar!
The second fundraiser is scheduled for February, 2010 — a Celtic Event! Love it! But, don’t forget our Christmas Concerts and pray there will not be another sandstorm like last year! We still can hardly believe that about 40 fans braved the weather to listen to us which, in turn, prompted us to sing in sweaters and coats as well as we could in the cold Memorial Hall. A true Christmas Story!
Then it will be on to the spring concerts and another Canada Day program of Canadian songs. Of course, we will keep you updated on all of these happenings so “stay tuned”, read on or better still, join us!
At present, we are 26 choir members of integrated ages. There are nine sopranos, seven altos, three tenors (tenoras) and five baritones. Ideally, to achieve an even sound, there should be a more equal number of singers in each section.
The first practice for the Christmas Concerts is on September 21, 7 p.m. at the Harrison Hot Springs Memorial Hall. The membership fee for the Christmas season is $40 while the fee for the spring season is $50. For more information, phone Ruth at 604-796-2084, get in touch with any of the choir members, or drop in at one of our practices.
