NASSAU, Bahamas – The Bahamas National Youth Choir is
singing a different tune following a donation from a local law firm.
Sharon Wilson & Co. on Monday donated $5,000
to the choir.
The firm has been a platinum sponsor for the
last five years and has, to date, donated $25,000 to the BNYC.
Principal of Sharon Wilson & Co., Sharon Wilson
said she was pleased that the firm was able to make its contribution to the
choir’s annual performance, particularly on its 25th repertory
season.
“Through the Bahamas National Youth Choir,
Cleophas Adderley and others have given so much over the years in the
development of the voices, poise and discipline of so many of our youth,” said
Mrs. Wilson.
“The National Youth Choir is truly a national
asset of which we can all be proud. No doubt it takes the wider support and
appreciation of our community to continue this excellent work.”
The
BNYC was founded in 1983 and its members have sung in dozens of languages in more
than 20 countries around the globe. It has even performed for Her Majesty the
Queen.
The
choir celebrates its 25th repertory season at the Dundas Centre for
the Performing Arts starting March 25-28. Tickets are $20.
The
gala performance takes place March 25 at 8:00 p.m. and is preceded by a
cocktail reception starting at 7:15 p.m. Tickets cost $60 per person.
