The Medford Singers is a mixed-voice community choir which was started 25 years ago by Bev Medford, who is remembered by many as not only a beloved singer, pianist and music teacher, but also a good friend of the Cowichan Valley performing arts community. From the humble beginnings of a ladies trio and then expanding to a sextet, the Medford Singers officially formed in 1991.
=0D=0A=Today, the choir has grown to just under 40 members who range in age from late teens to mid-90’s. As a tribute to the Medford Singers’ 25th anniversary, our spring concert -- entitled ``Reflections`` -- will include a mix of Bev’s old favourites, some well-loved Broadway selections and a number of contemporary pop hits. The program will also feature one classical piece, Haydn’s “Creation”, on which the choir will be joined by three guest soloists.
=0D=0A=Other highlights will include solo performances by this year’s mentor student, Baritone John Felton, and Soprano Erin McLean, who is a former voice student of Bev`s.
=0D=0A=Our Lake Cowichan concert will be held Saturday, May 21 at St. Christopher`s & St. Aidans Anglican Church starting at 2:00 pm, and tickets can be obtained in advance from choir members or at Volume One Books in Duncan.
=0D=0A=Ticket prices are $17 in advance, $20 at the door, and children 12 and under are free of charge. For more information on the Medford Singers, check out our Facebook page.
