On Saturday, May 29th, The Bowen Island Community Choir sang its annual Spring concert. With director Ellen Macintosh at the helm, accompanist Sheilagh Sparks and percussionist Brian Hoover, the choir was in fine form.
The program was varied, opening with Bright Morning Stars, a Kentucky Folk Hymn arranged by Jay Althouse; moving through Vancouver’s own Brian Tate’s We Are One and featuring popular contemporary British composer Bob Chilcott’s I Share Creation. Included in the program was a rousing rendition of The Theme from Spiderman, a sacred chant from the Santeria religion of Cuba and the renowned Hope For Resolution, a song for Nelson Mandela and DeKlerk interweaving a traditional Christian hymn with a Zulu freedom song.
