Vocal performers offer a treat

Lakes District Festival of the Performing Arts on April 12 and April 13.

Lakes District residents are in for a real treat this weekend, as vocal performers of all ages participate in the Lakes District Festival of the Performing Arts on April 12 and  April 13.

The two-day vocal section of the program features entrants of all ages, from primary school groups to soloists to adult choirs, and everything in between.

All sessions - held at Island Gospel Fellowship Church on Gerow Island - are open to the public. Admission is by donation. Vocal artists thrive on the energy and emotional response of an appreciative audience. Let's provide them with a good one.

Friday's 10 a.m. session highlights school groups and children's choirs, with child soloists at 12:30 p.m.

Friday's evening session includes a First Nations vocal solo and a performance by the Lake Babine Hereditary Drummers, as well as adult soloists, quartets, and choirs.

Saturday's sessions offer the talents of fine young vocalists from ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake, the Southside and Prince George. Enjoy the beauty and artistry of Classical solos in the 10 a.m. session. Then stay around for comedy, romance, and pathos in the Musical Theatre section of the program at 2 p.m.

The entertainment continues next week, with piano April 15 – 17 and speech arts on April 18. The festival wraps up with a gala honours concert on  April 20.
