Up the Shore & Around the Bay

Festival 500 Sharing the Voices offers a unique opportunity for choirs and ensembles to perform in a rural community just outside the capital city of St. John's. This concert series is entitled Up the Shore and Around the Bay. The events take place on the day and evening of July 5, 2011 (immediately preceding the Choral Festival) in the communities of Ferryland and Brigus/Cupids.  The three choirs travelling to each rural area enjoy whale watching, sight seeing, planned activities and meals before they perform an evening concert and return to St. John's.
