A Sunday full of soulful singing and musical spirit is what guests can expect at the Season Finale for the Canadian Military Wives Choir of Petawawa.

The season finale concert will once again feature free admission so that the joy of music can be enjoyed by every individual and family in the community! You can mark your calendars for Sunday, June 9th at 2 p.m. at St. George’s Chapel located at Garrison Petawawa.

“We are eager to celebrate the conclusion of another wonderful year of companionship, community and exciting connections we have made through singing” says Kimberly Glandon, president of the Canadian Military Wives Choirs Petawawa. “Our ‘singing sisters’ have been practicing several new musical titles to wrap up our fourth year, many of which our guests will know, and will be remembering for weeks after they are heard!”

2019 has marked a monumental year for the Petawawa chapter of the military wives choirs. The group stepped into Bobs Music, Pembroke in February marking their first ever studio recording of an original choir song entitled “On Guard.” Until the recording is made available to the public in the future, the song will be featured during the season finale concert.

In addition you can expect to hear an ode to traditional Scotland, a beautiful bilingual ballot by Serena Ryder, and a Billy Joel classic, just to name a few.

Guests will also be treated to an opening act by the Intermittents, all included in the free admission!

Donations are welcomed but not required to attend the concert. All donations will be made to the Red Cross Flood Relief Fund.

This season finale will also be colourfully somber as it will mark one of the final lineups led by the choir’s long-standing musical director Sosun Suh. As military life will have it Sosun will be venturing onto another posting with her family to brighten another military wives choir! The Petawawa choir is excited to announce that Ivan Barney will be joining the choir members in the fall as their new musical director.

It is the choir’s wish that the pews of St. George’s Chapel will be filled on Sunday, June 9 to give the grand send-off Sosun Suh deserves after having molded the three-part women’s choir into the powerful act it is today!

Local businesses that wish to support the choir with a sponsorship or a donation may contact them by email at canadianmwc.petawawa@gmail.com, and as always members of the community can encourage the choir with their positive attendance to their biggest performance of the year!

The season finale Sunday June 9, 2 p.m. at St. George’s Chapel, Garrison Petawawa.
