With best wishes for her career as an operatic soprano, Kiwanis Director Bill Dallamore presents Jena Moore with a cheque for $1500 towards the coming year’s tuition expenses.

Jena will enter her final year of training at London’s prestigious 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.
