With
much delight I’m sharing here that on Friday (July 24’26) I organized
the annual summer picnic of my Circle, event which brought together a nice
group of dear friends (Circle’s friends = Circle’s members) for an engaging
evening of music, dance, shared memories, enjoyment and community spirit.
The
highlight of this social event was the launching of VOCAL ART – The
Chamber Choir of ALICE & Friends Circle™.
On this occasion, it was profoundly significant for each of us to have our
chamber choir’s inaugural performance taking place at an event I organized for
my Circle.
Bringing
together emerging talents, amateur artists and music professionals, our choir
aims to present inspirational choral music across the realm, to create a
cultural experience that resonates with audiences of all ages, and to explore a
wide repertoire, ranging from timeless classical masterpieces, Byzantine and Baroque florilegia to contemporary choral works.
Our
first mini-concert was featuring pieces by Romanian composers. In the
foreseeable future, we will deliver both public concerts and bespoke
performances to special events, while featuring the beauty and the extensive
versatility of choral music. Beyond artistic performance, our choir’s launch signals a clear emphasis on musical
art and cultural dialogue.
Over
the last 8 years of existence of our socio-cultural Circle, amongst other
events of our Circle, the annual summer picnic of ALICE & Friends
Circle™ has become a truly cherished tradition, each time providing
excellent opportunities to strengthen community ties, while enjoying the
fantastic scenic outdoors of our beautiful Vancouver – this time featuring, the
one and the only, Granville Island.
Additionally,
invited by Alice to offer a dancing demonstration as part of the event, our old friend Sandu Oprea presented several (dancing) styles for everybody to join. Needless to say how much fun the engaging experience it was for all guests!
This
complimentary event was open to the public, expressing interest proactively –
enthusiasts were asked to RSVP via email before the specified due date.
The
purpose of this gathering was to create an inclusivist ambiance, meant to
strengthen culture, diversity and shared experiences.
Overall, this summer picnic of our Circle was a successful combination of
cultural appreciation, leisure and fine gastronomy, leaving all participants
with lasting memories of a nice sunny day well spent!
Until our paths will meet again on the same wavelength, from me only the best!
