Eclectica Community Choir, directed by Jasmine Kreschuk, wraps up its regular season on May 27 with a benefit concert, Over the Rainbow.
The 1.5 hour performance at Martin Exeter Hall is intended to raise money for the 100 Mile House and District General Hospital Auxiliary and will include a variety of musical entertainment.
Helen Lennox-Lau, assistant chair and secretary for the Eclectica planning team, says people can look forward to hearing everything from classical music to some fun stuff from the choir as well as several solo and duo performances.
Anthony Lau will perform on his classical harmonica with accompaniment from guitarist Karl Beitlberger. Ingrid Mapson, Barb Hooper and Lothar Haegele are all on the program to deliver singing solos.
Mapson’s teenage son, Daven Mapson, will assist in accompanying the choir on the organ and Lennox-Lau says she’s expecting a trumpet performance from local musician Brian Beattie.
The concert starts at 7 p.m. and admission will be by cash donation.
Eclectica will briefly step out of hibernation to perform July 1 at the South Cariboo Canada Day Celebration, and will then continue their rest until the fall.
