The Cove is lit up (many thanks to Basia Lieske and her elves); the craft fairs are coming and going… Lynn Williams and her Ladies Madrigal singers have sung, and now it’s the Bowen Island Community Choir’s turn to sing!

The Bowen Island Community Choir will perform two concerts on Saturday, December 9 at Cates Hill Chapel. The first is at 2 pm and the second is at 7 pm. Come and join us as we offer a varied program of classical, jazz, folk, and funny songs.

For over 20 years now we have been led by the stellar, patient, and good humoured Ellen Macintosh. Sheilagh Sparks accompanies us on the piano with her steadfast sense of timing, rhythm, and everything a choir needs to stay on task. 

This year, as almost always, our trusty MC is Graham Ritchie and our guest musicians are Laurie Beesting on the recorder; Julia van Walraven on violin, and Peter Clarke on cello and bass - and he has a few more percussion tricks up his sleeve.

The choir has worked hard and we will be very excited to entertain you with beautiful music of the season. Come and see and hear your friends and neighbours sing their hearts out for you. It’s a guaranteed spirit lifter in these busy and unusual times.

Please join us. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for seniors. They are available at Cates Pharmacy or at the door.
