Burke tells stories

One of the featured acts at the Vancouver
Children's Festival this spring was Music
Therapy instructor Kerry Burke playing
guitar with a vocalist partner and telling
stories. They put on a song and dance
routine, testing it out first in our
Daycare Centre, and performed in the
Storytelling Tent. When asked if he was
available for other song and dance
routines on campus, Burke replied: "You're
just trying to pick on me, aren't you?"

Concert raises scholarship money

The Spring Concert put on by the Bachelor
of Music Program at the end of the term
drew a good crowd and left the audience

very pleased. The College's orchestra and

chorus performed works including Schumann's
Spring Symphony, and one highlight of

the evening was a solo by graduating
student Adele Clark-Parkinson, who
performed a Vocal Concerto by Gliere. The
concert was also a financial success,
earning over $400 which was divided between
the Grand Piano Fund and the Scholarship
Fund. "It'll be even better next year,"
promised maestro Karl Kobylansky.
