JUNIOR Singers

Our Tapestry 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.

About Our JUNIOR 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 2026-2027 choral season will mark Tapestry’s 20th Anniversary and will be a very special celebratory year for their choral community.

The JUNIOR component of Tapestry Singers includes singers in Grades 3-7, with Grade 3 singers by Director invitation. The 2026-2027 choral season will mark their 14th season. Although the JUNIOR singers do not travel beyond Prince George, they certainly travel to many places within Prince George and enjoy singing at many local events and locations, including "O Canada" at Spruce King Hockey Games, caroling at Laurier Manor and Gateway Lodge, and community music festivals.

JUNIOR Singers are not auditioned but do attend a Voice Placement so that the Director can listen to their voices and determine best placement. And like the SENIOR Singers, Family/Singer Conversations ensure that Tapestry is a good fit for both the families and the Director. Commitment is essential; to rehearsals and to performances. JUNIORS Singers participate in some community fundraisers.
