ty, administration and students.

Award-winning poet Lorna
Crozier will be at Douglas Col-
lege next February as
writer-in-residence. Buy a sub-
scription to Event, between

and we’ll give you her latest
book, Angels of Flesh, Angels of

Douglas College Children’s and Youth Choir

The Douglas College Children’s and Youth Choir is designed to supplement the music programs of the
surrounding public schools. Emphasis is on vocal technique., choral skills, and introduction to excellent
choral literature available to and appropriate for younger singers. This choir, again because of its increas-
ing size, must limit its numbers and therefore, a vocal interview and placement is required before a child is
allowed into the choir. The choir performs in a variety of venues and welcomes singers between the ages
of seven and fourteen. For more information, please call Community Programs & Services at 520-5477.

Amabilis Singers (Douglas College Community Choir)

Founded in 1981 by its conductor, Diane Loomer, this choir is now one of the largest community choirs
in British Columbia. Several concerts both formal and informal are sung each year and the choir is
renowncd for its community spirit, generosity, and joy in singing. Because of its continued growth both
numerically and musically, admittance is now by audition only. Upcoming concerts include:
