In honour of Aurora\u2019s 150th anniversary, a choral concert will be held at the United Church in Aurora on Saturday, April 27 in celebration of this event. Seven choirs will be participating. Each choir will sing on their own for about 10 minutes and then the choirs will come together at the end of the concert to form a mass choir of about 150 voices.
\nThe music selected by the individual choirs includes:<\/p>\n

o\tImagine by John Lennon
\no\tWhat Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor
\no\tYou\u2019ll Never Walk Alone
\no\tClimb Every Mountain
\no\tBlame It On The Bossa Nova
\no\tAnd a Selection of French folk songs<\/p>\n

As well as many more well known and not so well known but very beautiful songs.<\/p>\n

The seven choirs are:<\/p>\n

o\tThe Aurora Evergreen Choir, which is the host choir
\no\tThe Aurora United Chancel Choir
\no\tNewmarket Keynotes Seniors Choir
\no\tLa Chorale Francophone de la Region York (The York Region French Choir)
\no\tThe Men of Note Male Voice Choir
\no\tThe Youthful Spirits of the United Church
\no\tThe York Region Community Choir<\/p>\n

The Mayor of Aurora, Geoffrey Dawe will be present and will say a few words before the mass choir.
\nThe finale with the 150 voices will be amazing. The two pieces selected by music director, Dr. Richard Heinzle are:<\/p>\n

o\tAll The Little Rivers, a beautiful new piece by Canadian Larry Nickel that talks about all the rivers of Canada.
\no\tYe Boundless Realms of Joy by Handel, which will be accompanied by the church organ. <\/p>\n

This will be quite a rousing finale to what should be a wonderful celebration of music to honour Aurora\u2019s 150th anniversary.
\nMark your calendars for Saturday, April 27 and come to the Aurora United Church on Yonge Street. The concert starts at 6.30 p.m. and the doors open at 5.30 p.m.
\nTickets are $15 each and are available from the participating choirs, CHATS on Wellington Street, or the Aurora Seniors\u2019 Centre as well as at the door. It will be an amazing evening of music. I hope to see you there.<\/p>\n
