Yoga Fundraiser - THIS SATURDAY - 10:30 a.m. DANSpace on Grafton St.
Please bring your friends, parents, neighbours, etc - all ages and stages welcome. It's a delicious way to wake up the body on a Saturday morning and support Xara's work at the same time. If you aren't sure of the details, see our facebook event. Thank you to Claire for offering this once more!!

Nova Scotia Youth Choir
Our provincial youth choir will be holding auditions in Halifax on April 1st and it would be great to see some Xara representation (it's for ages 18-25 so many of you are eligible)! The deadline for registration is today but I know they will still accept registrations until Monday. Christina is one of the resident conductors for the next two years and the guest conductor is a wonderful, dynamic woman named Rachel Rensink-Hoff. It mostly happens over the summer and is a great way to sing some fabulous SATB music at a high level without a huge time commitment. Here's a great little video about the choir (you'll recognize Rhian and several of our tenor and bass friends from Tales of the Old North) ... you can register here!
