What a treat today! It was the debut of our new youth band!

Special thanks to the countless volunteer hours from our talented accompanist, Daniel, and five kids (and one grandmother). He had quite the vision and the talent (and patience) to make it happen.

The kids picked their instruments in January, and Daniel taught them how to play them by ear...and to work as a team. There were weekly jam sessions and private lessons.

The choir and band, complete with a granddaughter-grandmother duet, were awesome!

Kudos to the kids! May this be the beginning of a lifelong love of playing music.

Reverend Ryan is at it again...giving away money to non-profits that are the partner charities for our Concerts for the Common Good series.

In this photo, he is presenting a $1600 cheque for Music Heals to Comox Valley choral director extraordinaire, Wendy Nixon, who organized the Choral Musaic earlier this spring.

Thanks to all performers and directors from the six participating choirs, and also thank you to the community for supporting our concerts and other fundraisers.

It was our 19th concert in the fundraising series to help St. George's United Church help our community.

Music Heals is an amazing organization that operates throughout Canada to help young and old heal more quickly through music therapy. Learn more at MusicHeals.ca.
