In Focus, May, 2011 8 40 Years ~ Hallelujah! The Georgetown Choral Society kicked off its 40th anniversary season on April 2 with a very special performance titled 40 Years Hallelujah! The concert included a selection of choir favourites, as well as the debut of a conductor A. Dale Wood's haunting Requiem, which the Choral Society commissioned to mark the anniversary. The Georgetown Christian Reformed Church was packed as dozens of local music lovers helped the 100-voice choir celebrate four decades of beautiful music. Bravo!

Guests were treated to a delicious meal, live music and an extensive silent auction where they used celebrity aliases to place bids. Organized by the Kinsmen Club of Georgetown, the event raised more than $22,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Canada. For more information on the foundation, visit www.cysticfibrosis.ca.

After snacking on tea and scones, attendees discussed what went on in the last year and brainstormed plans for the new season.
