SING US A SONG

The Guelph Youth Singers, under the direction of Linda Beaupré, are in the Tri-Cities this week as part of an exchange with Coquitlam's Coastal Sound Children's Choir.

The choir was in Guelph in February and the Ontario Singers are now here for the SEVEC-funded trip. And, luckily for music lovers, the two groups will perform together on Thursday in the concert Shine On at 7 p.m. at the Eagle Ridge United Church (2813 Glen Dr.). Admission is by donation.
