Two Centuries of Life in Tay Valley to be Musically Celebrated
Party on! From Aboriginal heritage to the struggles of immigrant settlers to the building of community, life in Tay Valley Township over the past 200 years will be commemorated on Saturday April 16th by the Tay Valley Community Choir and special guests. Tay Valley 200th: A Song Celebration is the 40-member choir’s spring concert, to be held at Maberly Hall at 7:30pm.
Choir director Rebecca Worden says there is music for everyone, touching on the rich history of Tay Valley Township over two centuries. “Drumming, Scottish and Irish ballads, Canadian waltzes, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and even a hint of music associated with James Bond—we will present a lyrical evocation of life in Tay Valley going back to 1816.”
“And bring your noisemakers and streamers!” says Worden. “Help us celebrate the joy of living here in beautiful Tay Valley!”
Special guests for the concert are Jane Cunningham on flute and talented Sharbot Lake teenagers Natalie and Lukas Reynolds, on fiddle and piano. The Choir’s new accompanist on piano is Mary Lou Carroll. As is usual at Tay Valley Choir concerts, there will be plenty of opportunity for the audience to sing along.
Tay Valley 200th: A Song Celebration is sponsored by the Tay Valley Township and Blue Skies in the Community. Admission is $10 at the door. There will be time to chat with neighbours and musicians over refreshments at the end of the concert. Please bring a food item for The Table Community Food Centre.
