“It is great to see choral music make a return to both touring and regional collaboration. Choirs were challenged tremendously by the limitations of the past two years, and we were thrilled to be able to support Lady Cove Women’s Choir in this endeavour. Congratulations to Kellie Walsh for her artistic vision and thank you, Kellie, for your contributions to and nurturing of our province’s choral music scene.”
