Whistler Children’s Chorus ends season on a high note
The children’s choir finished up a year filled with singing, dancing and fun with their concert on Sunday, May 1st at the Catholic church. Beginning in September with the UN International Day of Peace, the choir had a busy fall They presented Annie the musical (with only 7 weeks of rehearsals!), sang for the municipal Remembrance Day ceremony as well as several Christmas gigs including the annual Christmas Eve Carol Service.
The choir traveled to Squamish to take part in the Howe Sound Music festival in the spring which was a great experience for all.
A lot of repertoire was explored this year from unison to 3 part harmonies. The singers were up to the challenge and sang beautifully.
