Senior Singers | Prince George Tapestry Singers Society

Tapestry's community is supported by parents, foster parents, guardians, grand-parents, musicians, dancers, artists, and friends.

Their skills, commitment, encouragement, and love help our singers to thrive.

In May 2022, Tapestry’s SENIOR Singers were thrilled to place FIRST in their Provincial Class at Performing Arts B.C.!!

About Our SENIOR Singers

Tapestry Singers is a performance group that strives toward a high level of artistic excellence in choral performance along with personal and social growth. Their community is diverse and inclusive; all are affirmed. The mission of Tapestry Singers is to create a joyful and beautiful sound, to strive for choral excellence, and to foster a life-long love of music and music making. The 2024-2025 choral season will mark Tapestry’s 18th Anniversary.

The SENIOR component of Tapestry includes singers in Grades 7-12, with some attending College and University. They are active in the Prince George community, singing at sporting and civic events, and performing and collaborating with local choirs and musicians. Tapestry's SENIOR Singers are consistently recommended as Provincial Delegates to Performing Arts B.C.

Singers have travelled to music festivals in Edmonton (Non-Adjudicated Festival), Whistler (GOLD), Seattle (GOLD), Sun Peaks (GOLD), and The Canadian Rocky Music Festival in Banff, Alberta (Non-Adjudicated Festival). Most recently, Tapestry’s SENIOR Singers travelled to the Whistler Cantando Music Festival, where they received a GOLD Level Standing for their performance. Tapestry’s next trip will be in the spring of 2026.

Although not formally auditioned, SENIOR singers are expected to sing “tunefully” and commit to a busy choral season. Family/Singer Conversations ensure that Tapestry is a good fit for both the families and the director. Commitment is essential. SENIOR Singers are expected to participate in fundraisers throughout the season.
