After two wonderful and successful Christmas performances in Clearwater and Barriere, Leah Jones says she is ready to take on some new music and new choir members starting the last week of January.
“I would like to thank all those that helped out at the performances,” said Jones, “It couldn’t have happened without you. We generated some healthy donations to the food bank, and had some money donated as well. So thank you to the community for helping out those in need, and thank you for coming to the performances.”
Jones says the spring concert will again be 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 to attend, and 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 participants to sing along with at home.
“I have what I like to call ‘learning choirs’, said Jones, “Participants will learn a lot about singing just from being a member of the choir.”
