“Something to Sing About”

Apr 06, 2017

The Tay Valley Community Choir is pleased to once again stage a spring concert, this year with an all-Canadian twist.  “Something to Sing About,” the title of the show on Saturday, April 8th at 7:00pm at the Maberly Community Hall, is themed in the spirit of Canada’s 150th year since Confederation.

All songs chosen by the choir were written by Canadians including David Francey, Bruce Cockburn, and Stan Rogers, and range from folk to swing to light rock. Compositions by noted regional musicians Tom Lipps and Tony Turner will also be on offer.
“There are so many great Canadian composers,” says conductor Rebecca Worden, “from the famous to the largely unknown and from our own region to right across Canada.  Choosing a small selection of songs from them all is a real challenge but I’m really happy with our mix.  Our choir is so looking forward to a lovely evening of music and community to help celebrate Canada’s 150th.”  To fit in with the evening you are invited to bring along your Canada flags and wear your Canada t-shirt.

Accompanying the choir once again will be skilled pianist, Mary Lou Carroll. Several choir members will have solo singing opportunities and joining as special guests will be Ms. Worden’s own musical group, the Backyard Blenders.

Admission to “Something to Sing About” is $10 per person. Refreshments will be on hand following the concert and food or other donations to The Table can be made that evening and will be most welcome.

Something to Sing About is made possible thanks to Tay Valley Township and Blue Skies in the Community.
