THEY WERE A HIGH QUALITY AMATEUR CHOIR FOR A LONG TIME, AND TEN YEAR AGO, THIS YEAR, THEY BECAME A PROFESSIONAL CHOIR, ONE OF THREE PROFESSIONAL CHOIRS IN CANADA WHERE ALL THE MUSICIANS ARE PAID FOR, ALL OF THEIR SERVICES.
AND MY ASSOCIATION WITH THEM JUST BEGAN LAST APRIL WHEN WAYNE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO RETIRE AND GO ONTO OTHER THINGS, AND A SEARCH WAS MADE AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE ENSEMBLE.
THE GROUP IS 20 SINGERS, MOSTLY RELATIVELY YOUNG, SOME OF THEM STUDYING UNIVERSITY VOCAL, MUSIC STUDIES.
SOME OF THEM JUST GRADUATED, MANY OF THEM MAKING CAREERS AS SOLO SINGERS AS WELL AS ENSEMBLE SINGERS AND MANY ON THEIR WAY TO SOLO CAREERS.
THEY ARE VERY SKILLED MUSICIANS, VERY SKILLED MUSICIANS.
SO IT'S EXACTLY LIKE WORKING WITH PROFESSIONAL INSTRUMENTALIST, ANY KIND OF PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS SO WE GET A LOT DONE IN THE REHEARSAL AND IT'S VERY EXCITING TO WORK WITH THEM, AND THEIR RANGE OF MUSICAL INTERESTS IS, AS YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS PROGRAM, EVERYTHING FROM RENAISSANCE CLASSICAL MUSIC TO CONTEMPORARY POP MUSIC, AND SO IT'S GREAT FUN TO DO.
