Canadian Voices: Singing in the End - Jane Berry
It felt ominous, haunting, rebellious, hopeful, defiant, and it held the making of one’s art as the highest priority above all else. All of this I felt, all of this I was living at the time. |

On October 17, many of Pro Coro’s singers, staff, board members, friends and family participated in Choir Alberta’s Run for Music. This annual event not only advocates for the value of choral music, but also raises funds through Run For Music pledges that are split between participating choirs and Choir Alberta. All teams participated in the solo-edition this year, either in small groups or as individuals. Although we could not all run and walk together, we still felt a sense of togetherness in our efforts to support the Alberta choral community. We want to sincerely thank Choir Alberta, and our 2020 Run for Music supporters for helping our team raise $1746, $698 of which will go towards Pro Coro Canada: Michael Phair, Michael Zaugg, Michael Kurschat, Kyle Carter, Dorothea Korthius, Susan Rockwood, Oliver Munar, Marlene Brinston, David Rain, Ena Rudovics, Patricia Wankiewicz, Sarah Schaub, Sable Chan, Debra Cairns, Jack & Mary Ouellette, Gidget Bouchard, Deb Bailey, Debra Lyseng, Consuelo Munar, Trudy Grienauer, and our two anonymous donors.
