SUMMARY:THE ST. JOHN`S CHOIR
DESCRIPTION:THE ST. JOHN`S CHOIR of St. John’s\, Newfoundland and Labrador is a true adult community choir whose members represent a broad section of St. John’s and its surrounding communities. The choir’s age group ranges from early twenties to seniors and its members are from all walks of life and educational levels. While some members have music degrees\, many others do not read music. Some have little or no choral experience\, but then\, many have experience in multiple choirs and groups. \nTwenty-five years ago\, the St. John’s Choir rose from the ashes of the defunct Extension Choir of Memorial University of Newfoundland when several of the extension choir groups persevered to keep their own choirs singing. Choir members have fond memories of their first director\, Dr. Ignatius Rumbolt. After the Choir’s first year\, Mrs. Patricia Young became a long-term director and “Musical Mother”. \nOver the years\, the Choir has been guided by several well-known directors. Currently\, Stephen Candow is the director and Phil Roberts is the accompanist. The Choir performs two main concerts a year\, Christmas and spring. It has participated in Festival 500 events\, the Kiwanis Music Festival\, at numerous national conventions\, local fund raisers\, and telethons. \nThe Choir is completely self-sufficient financially\, raising all of their own funds. The Choir has a professional Director and Accompanist\, sings in four-part harmony and has a large and varied repertoire of songs ranging from Broadway show tunes to Classical pieces\, gospel to Newfoundland folk songs; and\, spirituals to popular music. \nWhen: Dec 20\, 2022 07:00 PM Newfoundland and Labrador \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrde6vqD0jEta-3ZpW99RGMCJRuqsrgSKh   \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
