The Nevis Community Choral Club, also known as the Nevis Community Choir, will be travelling to Canada on Tuesday, August 5, 2008 on a two-week long 25th Anniversary Tour. The 25 member non denominational group will participate in a number of social and sightseeing activities in Canada and will perform two concerts, sing at two senior citizens homes and perform at a worship service at the Mississauga Seventh Day Adventist Church. “We felt that attaining 25 years of continuous service is a great achievement and, as such, determined that it’s time our choir extended its voice beyond the boundaries of St. Kitts & Nevis,” says Elmo Liburd, president of the Club. The group will be guests of the St. Kitts & Nevis Choral Group of Canada based in Toronto.
The choir began in 1983 in preparation for the Independence Day celebration of St. Kitts & Nevis on September 19, 1983. It is one of the few organizations on Nevis that can boast such longevity. Through singing, the choir has brought joy to the hearts of thousands of Nevisians and visitors year after year performing a blend of Religious, Classical, Secular and Spiritual music. In addition to this, the choir also participates in weekly church services and other official functions. Some of the monies raised by the choir have been donated to the community and include:
