Simon Fraser University's Burnaby Mountain campus will be alive with the sound of choral music from June 29 to July 4. British Columbia is becoming a hotbed of choral music lovers and singers. Approximately 200 children and youth from all over the world will converge on SFU, and venues throughout the Tri-Cities, to sing with internationally known clinicians.
They include conductors Diane Loomer, founder and conductor of the men's choir, and Sanna Valvanne of Finland for treble choir. Also coaching and performing are the Musica Intima Vocal Chamber Ensemble, the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble and music composer, singer and percussionist Sal Ferreras.
The public will have a chance to soak up free choir performances at opening and closing ceremonies, in addition to ticketed events. The Coastal Sound International Choral Festival society, in co-operation with the Coastal Sound Music Academy Society, is producing this non-competitive festival to fill a void in the choral arts in the Lower Mainland. The event is slated to be held bi-annually at SFU.
