Near North Voices – North Bay’s University-Community Choir – is pleased to announce their 12th season of choral innovation in North Bay! Established in 2007 as an advanced choir on the Nipissing University Campus, their broad repertoire is focused on art (‘classical’) – much of it contemporary, and has included a number of Canadian and Northern Ontario premieres. Their principal project for this season will be a performance of Handel’s oratorio The Messiah with guest soloists and members of the North Bay Symphony Orchestra.

 

Weekly rehearsals begin on Wednesday, September 5 and run to early April. Membership is open to students, faculty and staff at Nipissing University and Canadore College, and to adults and high school students from North Bay and area and beyond. Near North Voices offers Student Choral Scholarships for qualified high school students who, over the course of the season, demonstrate substantial musical growth and an exemplary contribution to the ensemble.

 

Near North Voices’ first rehearsal is on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, in F210 off the front lobby of Nipissing University. Paid parking is available in the central Visitor’s Lot beside the library. Meet-and-greet and orientation with refreshments begin at 6:00 p.m. and the rehearsal starts at 7:00 p.m. New members are welcome! Some previous choir experience and music reading is helpful, but not required if you are motivated and enthusiastic! A brief pitching and voice placement check will be available for singers who are new to the ensemble.

Everyone is invited to bring a pencil, a water bottle, and a sense of humour.

Community Event - Smiths Falls/Perth/North Grenville - Listening Room Series at the Perth Restaurant

The LYNNeS (Lynn Miles / Lynne Hanson) bring their sweet harmonies and raucous patter to the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) on SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 30th - 7pm. 

A portion of the proceeds will go to Lanark County Interval House, an excellent cause for all they do to support women and children in need. 

BOOK EARLY AS ALREADY SELLING QUICKLY ... See you there.... 

A little more to pique your interest ...  

As many people have stopped me on the street to say how much they enjoyed The LYNNeS at Stewart Park Festival in July, its wonderful to be able to bring these two seasoned musicians back so soon.

With four Canadian Folk Music Awards and a Juno, Lynn Miles blends her sweet voice together with multi-award winning Lynne Hanson, creating a complimentary mix, fusing tight vocal harmonies with hauntingly gritty lyrics, satisfying to all who’ve heard them throughout their recent tours of North America and Europe. Throw in their witty patter between songs and it’s easy to see why Mike Davies of UK – folking.com stated "Individually, both LYNNeS are formidable forces in contemporary country, together they just might be unstoppable.". I’ve always enjoyed both these ladies individual performances and, having heard their blended voices, I can’t wait to hear a full evening. They’re currently showcasing their new album, ‘Heartbreak Song for the Radio’.
