After 12 years with School District 57 the Tapestry Singers choir will become a community choir based at Trinity Downtown, a centrally located church.
The Tapestry Singers senior choir include students in Grades 7 to 12, who strive for choral excellence. They are members of the music community and perform in public at sporting events, with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra and the K'hastan Drummers. The senior choir travels to musical festivals annually to compete and for workshops. The group has won many awards.
Senior choir members are expected to sing tunefully and commit to a busy choral season. To become a member the director holds parent/singer conversations to make sure Tapestry is a good fit for the family and the choir.
The junior choir is for children in Grades 4 to 7 and is for everyone who wishes to sing and although they make appearances within the community, there is no travel scheduled. The junior choir members can look forward to performing at Spruce Kings Hockey Games, go caroling at seniors' residents and participate in local festivals.
For those interested in joining the Tapestry Singers, visit their booth at the Active Living Mart on Saturday, Sept. 7, and Sunday, Sept. 8, or contact choral director Carolyn Duerksen at [email protected].
