Songs that Tell

Stories

Tell me a tale. Sing mea
song.

This is the theme of one of
Douglas College’s most out-
standing concerts of the season.

On Wednesday, April 19, the
Amabilis Singers and the
Douglas College Youth/
Children’s Choir come together
on stage for a spectacular and

During the evening concert,
the audience will be whisked
Around the World in 80 Days
with the Geographical Fugue,
visit characters from Disneyland
(When You Wish Upon a Star),
pause for a brief stop in Biblical
times (with the majestic The
Heavens are Telling) and be
lulled by Canadian sea songs
such as Away from the Rolling
Sea.

"It’s going to be great fun for
the audience," says Loomer.
"This is wonderful, light-hearted
