Anyone who’s ever sung in a choir knows that men who can sing are a treasured breed – and those future coveted tenors, baritones and basses are getting their choral lives off to a good start right here in Burnaby.
The B.C. Boys’ Choir is welcoming new members for the 2015/16 season.
The choir has moved to a new home base at Deer Lake School (5550 Gilpin St.) for this season.
New to the choir this year is SongSport, a new singing program for active boys aged seven to 12.
“Boys need to move. Boys love to sing. Our new program is all about those things,” said a press release. “Fast-paced rehearsals that mix singing, physical games and choreography will help boys build great vocal skills, learn more about music and have a ton of fun.”
The boys’ concerts will feature songs with movement, from traditional to hip-hop moves.
SongSport meets Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Burnaby.
The choir also has some openings available for its International Touring Choir, which also rehearses Wednesdays in Burnaby.
The choir is open to boys and young men aged 10 to 24 (both unchanged and changed voices) with singing experience.
The choir generally presents anywhere from 15 to 40 concerts a year, including performances with orchestra and other choirs.
The choir tours regionally every year and internationally every two years – in July 2016, it will tour in Europe.
The International Touring Choir is by audition.
