Songs of Sea and Shore, Sensibility and Satire – June 5th Concert
We had a great appreciative audience for our end-of-season concert yesterday evening at First United Church in Musquodoboit Harbour. Thank you for your support!
Also a special thanks to Rowan Wilson-Henkelman for her wonderful solo pieces accompanied by John Plant, and including “Rise Again” performed with the Choir, and to Ro Evans for his steadfast support playing guitar for “Hit the Road, Jack!” with Blair Lopes, Janet Gaskin, and back-up singers.
Many thanks also for “insider” solo performances by our bass singer/songwriter Jim Reid with his own composition “Love’s Like That”, and by our accompanist John Plant for Mozart’s Variations on …. a tune well known in children’s songs! It was also a privilege and great fun to sing John’s arrangement for the Choir of “I Am So Proud” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado”.
The Choir continues to develop thanks to the tremendous leadership of Music Director Janet Gaskin and Chairman/Assistant Music Director Allan Banks, and with the brilliant support of Accompanist John Plant. We look forward to next season.
Capella Regalis Men & Boys Choir is one of Canada’s very few men and boys choirs in the European cathedral tradition.
