The choir has been invited to perform as part of a 12-choir ensemble in the world premiere performance of Dr. Cristian Grases' Music for Treble and Youth Voices as part of the Distinguished Concerts International New York's concert series. The piece called "Eternal Light" will be performed June 12 at world-renowned Carnegie Hall in New York, NY, USA. Visit the event's website here where you can also buy tickets if you are going to be in the New York area and are interested in attending the performance.
The kids are so very excited for this opportunity! They have been working tirelessly to learn this amazing and challenging material in order to honour Dr. Grases' work and to represent the City of Toronto proudly!
Why We Need YOUR Generous Support
The choir and their families have been working hard as well to raise funds to offset some of the cost of this trip. There have been concerts, bake sales, beer and wine bottle drives, toilet paper sales, our Family Fun Night dinner event and other fundraisers. They also had the honour of singing the national anthems at the Toronto Blue Jays game at the Rogers Centre on April 19, 2016 and sold tickets to raise funds! As you can imagine this trip for 40 kids, their families, chaperones and staff is quite expensive! In addition, the Canadian dollar's drop against the U.S. dollar has added to the cost by over 20% putting an extra burden on the families.
In addition to our fundraising efforts, the kids and their families need YOUR help to get them to Carnegie Hall! Please help in any way you can by clicking CONTRIBUTE above. Don't forget to check out the PERKS available to you! We all appreciate your support so very much.
About TBCC
The Toronto Beaches Children's Chorus was founded in 2006 by choir director, Bronwen Low and in short time has grown to 4 levels of instruction. The choir provides both vocal and dramatic training, in a fun and supportive environment. The children learn a variety of music from all different genres, and enjoy bi-weekly drama classes with actor Joanne Mitchell. At TBCC, our goal is to foster the love of music and drama in our choristers and to help build confidence in each of our members. We offer many different performance opportunities including a fully staged musical every spring! This is TBCC's 10th anniversary!
