Chorfest 2013

2013 was a very exciting year as Nanaimo Sings! partnered with the British Columbia Choral Federation (BCCF) to present BCCF Chorfest 2013 on May 17-19. It was a wonderful three-day event that saw singers from all parts of British Columbia come together to share the joy of singing with each other and with the Nanaimo community.

The Vancouver Island Conference Centre was the venue for rehearsal and social events on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, three choirs, representing three+ generations presented a gala concert at The Port Theatre. The Children’s Chorfest choir was led by clinician Marni Strome, artistic director of the Calgary Children’s Choir. The BC Youth Choir with singers aged 17-23 was led by Frances Roberts from Argyle High School in North Vancouver. Laurier Fagnan, from the University of Alberta in Calgary, led the Adult Choir. BCCF Chorfest 2013 was a successful event that left us smiling about the fun we had and the new friends that were made.  Choral music is, indeed, a life-long joy.
