Choir's log, star date 05042019.
A local chorus seems to have become entangled in themes of science fiction and action adventure.
The only way to move through this nebula is sing their way out.
The singers have set their phasers to "stunning" and will launch a full attack from the Prince George Playhouse state on Saturday night.
"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away a group of choristers decided to take on the challenge of space the final frontier," said the choir's heralded leader Robin Norman.
"Their mission: to explore Swedish troll proverbs and beyond while singing amazing pieces from Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Star Wars, Star Trek, and so much more."
That Norman's way of saying that she and her Nove Voce choir have won the right to represent Canada at the European Choral Games coming up this summer in Sweden.
They are raising money for the trip the best way they know how: sing, sing, sing. They are unabashedly performing a soundtrack for nerds everywhere on Saturday, that night of all final frontiers, because it is, after all, the one date on the calendar where we all get to feel the tractor beam of heroism. May the fourth be with you.
"At this concert you will hear familiar fun music like Baba Yetu from Civilizations, soaring haunting pieces like Lament of The Highborne from World of Warcraft, and powerful music from scores such as Duel of the Fates from The Phantom Menace," said Norman and, well aware that it is coinciding with Northern FanCon, "there will be photo opportunities and costume contests," as well.
This rebel force has assembled an away-team that also includes "local pianist Jedi Maureen Nielsen," and "percussion goddess Barb Parker," Norman said.
The choir is also "enlisting help of new allies and members of another alliance the Synergy handbell choir. Synergy members will be joining Nove Voce for the piece Northern Light by Esenvalds which also features tuned wine glasses with the chimes."
Tickets are $20 each at Books & Company.
Sailing across the known universe at warp Nove Voce speed is a free bonus.
