Well, Folks, we are well prepared for our concert this week!
I am SO proud of the work we’ve done together this season so far! I know it sometimes feels that in a large group like ours, one person doesn’t matter, but I’m here to disabuse you of that notion. Each of you brings something really special and we noticed when your “voice” is missing. I appreciate you all more deeply than I can express and I’m honoured to stand among you.
There’s one newsy bit to share (the 2025 Season and 2025 Performances pages have been updated on our site): we have a gig confirmed on Thursday, August 21! This will be our traditional last concert at Concordia Village (1125 Molson St) at 7 pm.
Apart from that, it’s down to the good stuff:
Concert Details:
