30 Years, 30 Workshops
With this 2007-2008 season, BCCF celebrates its 30th year serving the choral community in British Columbia. The Board has set itself a challenge - to create, over the course of the season, THIRTY events that will bring singers together in music-making, and present the federation to the province.
Help us make this a reality - check out our event planning page to spark the idea for a workshop we can help with in your community.
