The City of Gardens Chorus has something to sing about.
Made up of South Island women, the a capella group was recently honoured as the third best choral group west of Manitoba.
“It’s always been a high achieving chorus,” said director Julie Smith. “They set their goals for this year and achieved every one of them.”
The 70-member chorus travelled to Surrey in April to compete in the annual regional competition. The group was up against more than 20 choruses from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Aside from finishing third overall, the group’s quartets, Accent and Euphoria, won fourth and sixth overall, respectively. Euphoria was also named most improved quartet.
