FALL/WINTER 2021/22 Rehearsals Start OCTOBER 5th!
|
We are thrilled to announce that we intend to hold Coquitlam Celebration Choir rehearsals IN PERSON this fall and winter, with our season starting in October to allow us to learn, meet and follow all protocols specified by the Public Health Office.
Our planned season runs for 15 rehearsal sessions, starting Tuesday October 5th 2021 and concluding on Tuesday February 1st 2022. Concert details will be announced later, as we will need to know what is allowed by that point. We look forward to welcoming back returning members as well as inviting new members to join. Please contact coquitlamcelebrationchoir@gmail.com for any further details. |
Fall 2020 Rehearsals Start NOW!
|
Welcome back to any returning choir members, and welcome to new choir members. We have decided to hold our weekly rehearsals on Zoom this fall, to better protect the health of our members whilst still offering us the chance to sing and socialize.
Zoom rehearsals run from 7:30-8:30 pm on Tuesday nights, and attendees will hear the choir director sing, speak and play the piano. Mics will be muted, so you will hear your own singing voice but not those of the other members. There is an "open mic" time both before and after the rehearsal for socializing and questions. Please contact us at coquitlamcelebrationchoir@gmail.com for more information. The Fall 2020 season runs from Tuesday September 15 to Tuesday Dec 1, 2020. |
Spring 2020 Season - Concert via Video
Like most of the world, we shut down our choir rehearsals in March 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Much to our dismay, we were not able to share our full concert repertoire at the end of our spring season, but we did complete a group recording of one of our favourite songs from the term. Here is the Gordon Lightfood Medley. We hope you enjoy the music!

Spring Concert Cheque Presentation - June 7, 2018
We were thrilled to be able to raise $1000 at our Spring Concert this year, and happily gave it as a donation to the Crossroads Hospice Society. We were fortunate to have Tereza McDermid speak on the night of our concert and tell us all about the wonderful services that the Hospice offers to the Tri-City community. Ms. McDermid is the Executive Director of the Crossroads Hospice Society.
Pictured here are choir members (l-r) Dorothy, Susan, Terry, Diane and Margaret, with Ms. McDermid (back right).
