Friends and supporters of Jenavieve Moore have a rare opportunity to hear our very own rising young soprano.
You are invited to a fundraiser and reception in Jena’s honour on Sunday, August 14th at 3:00 p.m. at the Oliver Word of Life Centre (on 119th Street off 350th Avenue near the cemetery). Jena will entertain us with some of the vocal techniques she’s learning and sing some of the music she loves.
Jena will enter her final year of training at London’s prestigious (and expensive!!) Guildhall School of Music & Drama this fall. She has received many awards, including the 2009 Greater Toronto Area Kiwanis Rosebowl Winner. Jena has performed as guest artist with several symphony orchestras, including our own Okanagan Symphony. During this past year, Jenavieve was one of eight singers personally chosen by the Metropolitan Opera’s Thomas Hampson to participate in the first ever Heidelberg Lieder Akademie. In
May, she sang the role of the First Lady in Mozart’s Magic Flute at Guildhall. Jena will be the featured soloist in a new music project with the BBC Symphony Orchestra next spring.
Jena is realizing a dream to take her place in one of the most competitive roles on the world stage, and to share her rare gift with music lovers everywhere. The reception/fund-raiser is one way for our community to show generous support to one of
our own.
