6th Annual SingathonFebruary 11, 2012 St. Catharines, ON – CHORUS NIAGARA, Niagara’s premier 100-voice ensemble, conducted by Artistic Director Robert Cooper, holds its 6th Annual Singathon Fundraiser at “The Most Famous Food Court in the World” the Seaway Mall in Welland Ontario, Saturday, February 11th from 10am-3pm. The Seaway Mall was the location for the Chorus’ 2010 hit flash mob, which has since been viewed over 36 million times. The Singathon is a free concert, performed continuously for the public from 10am-3pm. The Chorus performs a variety of works from their popular and classical repertoire, including the famed Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. Local community leaders have been invited as guest conductors who will lead the choir with assistance from Artistic Director Robert Cooper, who will tutor them in the basic methods of conducting. The Singathon is Chorus Niagara’s major annual fundraiser. Last year’s Singathon raised a record amount of $54,000.00. Funds are used to produce and promote the ensembles’ annual season of 4 different choral concerts featuring classical, avant-garde and contemporary choral music. Donations can be made in person at the Singathon, by sponsoring a chorus member, or easily and securely online, through http://www.canadahelps.org For more information contact Claudia Meyer at 905-988-9175, mailto:cnadmin@becon.org or visit the Chorus Niagara website at www.chorusniagara.ca The video above took place at the 5th Annual Singathon.
