The Provincial award winning Ancora Women’s Ensemble, a 15-voice adult choir with members from the Shuswap and North Okanagan, is excited to present its concert Heart Songs, Sunday, Feb. 22 at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon.
This all-female group has been singing together for three years under the artistic direction of Terry Logan, an accomplished choral director from Armstrong.
New to the group are Vernon sisters Sharon Kilistoff and Ardie Burnham. Both are graduates of the Logan Studio and have been awarded gold medals from the Royal Conservatory of Music for achieving top provincial marks on their voice exams.
Ancora will be delivering a delightful repertoire of music sure to please the most discerning listener, including Canadian works for women’s choir, classical, folk-pop, lullaby and spiritual.
Well known Vernon musician Neil Fraser brings his creativity on guitar to the stage as a guest artist, plus he will also accompany the choir on a piece arranged by Logan. Some of the pieces will be performed a cappella, some are accompanied by Jim Johnston, a talented pianist from Salmon Arm.
Sunday’s concert at All Saints starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased from choir members or at the door.
