On Friday, May 24th at 7pm Songs Strings and Steps will present a concert at Gateway Church (Abby/Mission Hwy) featuring the Pacific Mennonite Children’s Choir, Abbotsford Youth Orchestra and the African Children’s Choir in a feast of great music.
Not only will each group present their own repertoire and choreography, but they will also be performing together in a couple of group numbers. Planning for this special event started 18 months ago with Calvin Dyck and Tasha Nickel brainstorming about a way for these 3 special groups to collaborate. It is exciting to see the local youth work together with the talented youth of the African Children’s Choir.
The African Children’s Choir program promotes the beauty, dignity and unlimited ability of the African child around the world, being a voice for the millions of suffering children who cannot speak for themselves. The program provides for the children’s well-being and quality education, utilizing the transformative power of music and also installs Christian principles through teaching and leading by example - bringing relief and development to African nations in crisis. The ACC touring choir features some exceptionally gifted youth whose ability to sing and dance and communicate never fails to move audiences.
The PMCC was started in Abbotsford over 40 years ago and has trained hundreds of singers to sing to the glory of God. They have the reputation of being one of the best children’s choirs in Western Canada and have numerous recordings and tours in their history. The Abbotsford Youth Orchestra is a string group started in 2000 by Calvin Dyck and provides a high level of training for talented youth. Both the AYO and PMCC look forward to this opportunity to collaborate with the African Children’s Choir, and to help support the work of this organization.
