Announcing our Spring Concert!
This is the first year we've had two major concerts in a season, and so we've been working hard since January learning our spring repertoire. If you've had a chance to see our two previous concerts, you know this will be a multimedia event and not to be missed! Get your tickets now! Here's a link to our Facebook Event page as well!

Q City Singers received a $2000 grant from the Rotary Club of Quesnel this week in support of our choral folder purchase, which helps to ensure the physical protection of our sheet music investment and provides a secure and professional way for our members to handle their music on stage. Without this donation, it would not have been possible A big thank you to our local Rotarians and their ongoing support of the arts in Quesnel! Here, QCS Board Members Katrina Scott and Kimberly Simpson, accept the cheque from the Rotary Club President Sandra Lewis. Our beautiful new folders! For more information about the Rotary Club in Quesnel, and the great work that they do, check out their website and Facebook page.
