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.
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 2025-2026 choral season will mark Tapestry’s 19th Anniversary.
The JUNIOR component of Tapestry Singers includes singers in Grade 3-7. The 2025-2026 choral season will mark their 13th 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. In May 2024, they were awarded “Runner Up” in their Choral Class at Performing Arts B.C. and then recommended to compete at the Canada West Performing Arts Festival.
JUNIOR Singers are not auditioned but do attend a Voice Placement so that the director can listen to their voices and determine the best placement for their voice in the choir. 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. JUNIOR Singers and their families participate in community fundraisers that support their Operational Account.
