Annual boys' choir program kicks off

Young men between the ages of 12 and 20 are invited to join the Chor Leoni MyVoice choir program, going into its third year this year.

Young men between the ages of 12 and 20 are invited to join the Chor Leoni MyVoice choir program, going into its third year this year.

The eleven-week program is free for any boys interested in learning to sing or expand their vocal abilities, and will culminate in an all-day choral celebration with the Chor Leoni Men's Choir at Queen's Avenue United Church in April.

All levels of experience are welcome to sign up to sing together every Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. at Douglas College.

The first practice was yesterday, but space is still open for more members to sign up. About 100 participants are expected to join the program at its Vancouver, Richmond and New Westminster branches, said Chor Leoni's assistant conductor, Carrie Tennant.

"It just keeps growing every year," she said. "There's just something about having the energy of all boys in the same room."

Whether participants have had experience with their school or community choirs or are totally new to choral singing, this is a chance to try it out, said Bruce Hoffman, director of communications for Chor Leoni Men's Choir.
