Singing In Spring ...

 

 

We were welcomed to the 52nd Annual International Choral Festival which was hosted by the
Naramata Community Choir this year in Penticton.  This was a celebration of music and friendship which is held alternately in the United States and Canada.
Eight choirs participated in this magical evening for the sheer enjoyments of singing.

 

Bisset Singers, Cranbrook, BC 

Director, Chuck Bisset  -  Accompanist, Tim Plait 

Our choir has close to 40 members from Cranbrook and surrounding areas.  Our director travels to Cranbrook from Trail each week.  He dedicates his time to sharing his knowledge of music with his students and choir music.

We perform a variety of music ranging from Jazz to Classical.

All choirs performed 3 music selections during the evening ...

ending with a Mass Choir Finale 

singing

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

"Russian Picnic"

"We Rise Again"

The power of the combined voices filled the room with an energy that left you breathless ... !!!
