This is a FREE program to all Grade 5 Students.

Symphonic Children's Choir (age 11-14, grades 6-8) working towards performance of Carmina Burana April 2016 - many of the kids in children's choir were previously Fab Fives and wanted to continue to sing.
 
VIS Symphonic Choir is open to singers ages 15 years to 96 and up. Member are asked to audition for this Choir and will perform with the Symphony the grand choral work - Carmina Burana in April 2016.

The magical combination of discovering your own voice, joining it with others and experiencing the power of expression resulting from this combination is unbeatable. Add to that the exponential synergy of singing with a symphony orchestra and the sky is the limit!  Sharing the love of music- It is pure privilege to watch people's musical creativity unfold and to see your love of music shining back through the faces of the singers. Every rehearsal reveals new talent, new potential and new moments of beauty.

What a great experience for all involved. To get more information please contact the Vancouver Island Symphony offices at 250-754-01777 or vial email at [email protected]. Check all that the Vancouver Island Symphony is doing this season - http://www.vancouverislandsymphony.com.
