I am excited to have arrived on the scene in time for the 25th Anniversary season of the Airdrie Community Choir, which was established in 1984 by Greg Mohr.

In one of those incredible “it’s-such-a-small-world” coincidences, Greg and I were roommates on Chor Leoni’s (Vancouver Men’s Choir) 2008 Tour to the Czech Republic and Germany. I can honestly say that he is an excellent musician and a very, very nice man. We are delighted and honoured that Greg has agreed to return to Airdrie and conduct some pieces in the Spring concerts.

The concerts are entitled “What a Wonderful World!” after the song of that name, made famous by Louis Armstrong. The musical program will end with “What a Wonderful World” as the conclusion to a four part concert, celebrating the aspects of this world that I think are truly wonderful: Nature, Sprituality, Love and our beautiful country… Canada.

We invite you, your friends, family, neighbours, and all choir alumni to join us for these two wonderful concerts.
