Hello Past, Present and Future Q City Singers members! The QCS Board of Directors is thrilled to welcome Conductor Corry Moriarty to the Q City Singers family! Corry comes to Q City Singers with over 15 years of musical experience; she has a master’s degree in music education, a diploma in vocal performance, and is an accomplished conductor and arranger. She has conducted several community, high-school and church-based choirs; most recently, she spent 3 years leading the Sisters of Mercy women’s chorus in Regina, Saskatchewan. Corry recently relocated to Quesnel, and was excited to discover that we have a vibrant arts scene and an established community choir here; she was thrilled to learn that we were also looking for a conductor! Corry is very excited to get to know everyone and start singing on September 12th. Corry will be joining us at the Quesnel Farmer’s Market this weekend; come out on Saturday, August 26th between 11am and 1pm and help us give her a warm Cariboo welcome! Members of the board will be at our Q City Singers information booth from 8:30am - 1:30pm to visit with you and answer any questions you may have. We leave you with a picture of Corry signing the letter of agreement for her new role with us yesterday. We had a great evening sharing ideas to support the choir’s future growth; we are looking forward to lots of laughter and musical learning under Corry’s enthusiastic leadership. We hope you are excited as we are to start the season! See you all soon,
The Q City Singers Board of Directors (Katrina Scott, Katrina Lindblom, Siggi Stoldt, Kimberly Simpson, Lois Flanagan, Cora Koyama and Bev Graham)
**Update Aug 18th - 3:02pm: The survey is now closed. Thank you so much for all of your input! It helped us make our last minute decision on the song. Don't worry, we really loved all three songs, but had to pick one to order today!
In the future, we will do "what should we order" surveys like this but allow much more time for response :) -Q City Singers Board of Directors** We need your help! Please fill out the survey below :) Hello Past, Present and Future Q City Singers members!
We have confirmed our Market dates! We plan on recruiting new members, people interested in conducting, youth members and generally making the community aware of Q City Singers. Come out and visit us! West Village Night Market Thursday, August 10th from 5:00pm to 9:00pm in the park behind Save-On Foods in West Quesnel. If you are interested in helping out, please let us know. If you have a bit of time, stop by and visit us. There are always a wide range of vendors and entertainment!

Reminders Conductor & Youth Members- We are still looking for people interested in taking on a conductor role, as well as two youth members for our upcoming season. Is that you? Maybe you just need to take the musical leap? Do you know someone? Contact us! Missing Music - Over the weekend, we were able to re-organize and catalogue our current sheet music collection. We are missing quite a few pieces of music that we have purchased, either in 2015-2016 or 2016-2017. The purchased pieces are original scores (smaller than letter sized paper, often have a colored front page). If you discover any lying around, or know of someone who may have forgotten to return theirs, please let us know! We would be happy to arrange pick up. First Practice - Our first practice of the season will be on Tuesday September 12th at 6:30pm at the Trinity Lutheran Church. |
