Island Bel Canto Singers is one of Nanaimo’s favourite women’s community choirs. These ladies love to laugh and be together, and most of all, they love to sing! Founded in 1997, this auditioned choir performs a diverse repertoire, from early classics to contemporary music, world music and musical theatre, all in a variety of languages. They sing both accompanied and a cappella, and mainly in three- and four-part harmony.
The choir produces a concert each Christmas and Spring, at which aspiring young musicians from the Nanaimo area are featured guests. Island Bel Canto Singers also performs at community events throughout the year, and networks with other choirs to enrich and extend the choral tradition in Nanaimo and surrounding area.
Director: Lionel Tanod
Accompanist: Sharon Sinclair
