Christmas Card Design Competition

It may seem early to think about Christmas, but it’s not too
soon to tell your students—or to plan to tell them in the fall—
about the College’s Holiday Season Card Design Competition.
The College is looking for a non-denominational design that
reflects Capilano College values. The Arts faculty and the Public
Relations Department will select a winning card or cards out of
two-color designs submitted by students. The prize will be cash,
plus the student’s name printed on the card. Look for more
details in upcoming /nformers.

Pianos Donated to
Community Music School

A recent donation of four state-of-the-art Kawai upright
studio pianos has been a big boost to the Community Music
School’s piano program.

“Teaching piano technique is much better when you have a
good instrument. These new pianos are reliable, they hold their
tune and have a uniform touch,” said Kristi Lind, coordinator of
the music school.

The pianos were made available to the Capilano College
Foundation by Howard’s Pianos of West Vancouver and with
the assistance of the Vancouver Foundation.

The Community Music School each year trains about 500
students, aged 3 1/2 and up. Programs include Pace piano,
Kodaly/Orff music for preschoolers, and private instruction on a
wide variety of instruments.

Music Students and Choir
Making Good Impressions

Students in the university transfer Music program took
several firsts, seconds, and thirds at the Kiwanis Music Festival
singing in vocal ensemble duet, musical theatre, light opera,
lieder team, and concert group categories. The students
competing were: Julia Kologie - soprano, Adam Kozak - tenor,
Peter Kendall - bass, Christine Freiberg - piano. Their instructor
Lars Kaario says these results are exceptional given that this is
the most highly contested music festival in the province. “Many
of the entrants already have their Bachelor of Music or more, and
are in their late 20’s and early 30’s. Our students are 19 or 20
years old.”

The Capilano College Singers have been invited to perform
in the International Choral Kathaumixw in Powell River at the
end of June. They will be competing against choirs from around
the world, including Sweden, Finland, Venezuela, U.S., the
Ukraine, Hungary, South Africa, and more. This is the fifth
Kathaumixw. The event was started ten years ago by Don James,
who was given the Order of Canada last year for starting the
festival. The word “Kathaumixw” is Salish, meaning “a
gathering together of different peoples.” The event is held every
second year. The Cap Singers are one of 25 choirs selected from
over 60 applicants.

The Cap Singers did not win the chamber choirs category in
the recent CBC radio competition. However, choir director Lars
Kaario says the fact that they made it to the finals was a feat in
itself. The College choir, who are in their early 20s, was
competing against people with at least a decade more experience
and university and graduate level degrees.
