Kathaumixw Choral Festival is happening,
July 4th—10th, 2016
It is time to think about Kathaumixw! Can you
help us host one of the Choirs of the World?
This is your chance to enjoy excellent music, as seen and
heard through the enthusiastic eyes and ears of these
young musicians. It's also our chance to share Powell River with the world.
Church of the Assumption Parish has been asked to
host "Bel Canto", an Australian girls' choir from Firbank
Grammar School, in the city of Brighten, (state of) Victoria. Sixteen homes are needed, to provide beds, meals,
and transportation to the musical venues (for 28 girls, & 4
adults).
If you can help, please call Roberta M. at 483-3230.
