The Paisley Concert Choir has been preparing diligently since the
beginning of February for this spring’s concert season.
This season marks the ninth year for the choir. In 2001 there were
29 voices; this year we have grown to 54. They boast a particularly
strong male contingent and always feature them in a 3 or 4-part
tenor bass song. They have prospered under our director Linda
Finlay, and accompanist Jane Siegel. They are a community
choir (no auditions), and welcome anyone from senior high school to
senior citizen, who loves to sing. The choir attracts choristers
from a wide area, bounded roughly by Owen Sound, Hanover, Teeswater,
and Lake Huron. They practice in Knox United Church in Paisley,
which has generously supported us over the years. Paisley is very
fortunate to have such a fine choir.
Currently, the choristers are enjoying the selection of ballads,
spirituals, and popular songs chosen for this season. They are
excited about our upcoming performances. One of our themes is “river
songs” which seems appropriate for Paisley, situated at the junction
of two rivers. (next column)
