The Festival 500 Western Region Festival takes place during 2013. Concerts and rehearsals will take place in Corner Brook, with guest conductors to be determined. Choirs will not want to miss the chance to participate in the weekend, and also hear a talented ensemble or choir! As in past years, participant groups will have opportunities to perform and to participate in one of the massed choirs. The Festival is also open to Come Solo participants, individuals who are not currently singing in a participating choir. More details to follow. Stay tuned.
