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) |
