A Thank You to our supporters
When we reached the twenty-five year mark, we began to think about what we had accomplished and where we wanted to go in the next twenty-five. And for one group, we wanted to acclaim our special appreciation—our audiences. Much as we love learning and growing together, there is nothing like the feeling of looking out at the audience—singing the notes, expressing the rhythms, and communicating emotions. Nothing beats our sense of connection when the audience listens, not just with their ears, but with their hearts.
Over the years, so many people have supported Island Voices. Our families have tolerated our regular absences and the not-always-so-pleasing sounds of our practice at home. Our friends have attended concert after concert, and community members from Comox Valley, Campbell River, Quadra Island—to name but a few—have supported our efforts.
As we planned our silver jubilee concert, we remembered what we have printed in many programs over the years, and we wanted to say again:
“Thanks to you, our family and friends, for your many years of support”
We hope you enjoy Casey Rule’s arrangement of Danny Boy, recorded this past May at our 25th Anniversary Concert.
