Dear BCCF members:

In the face of the escalating uncertainty and restrictions imposed on us all by the current pandemic, the BCCF is announcing with deep regret the cancellation of BCCF CHORFEST 2020, BC YOUTH CHOIR 2020 and CHILDREN’S CHORFEST 2020 originally scheduled for May 29-31 in Fort Langley and Abbotsford. This most regrettable cancellation is unprecedented — a move for unprecedented times. Heartfelt thanks are extended to our host committee from the Langley Community Chorus and Valley Festival Singers. The committee’s wonderful “Be The River” theme to have been realized in superior Fraser Valley venues deserves to be revisited in the future! Thanks, too, to clinicians Julia Davids, Jim Sparks, and Sandra Meister and to our cohorts who worked on the musical and organizational aspects of these programs. Your work will be put on ice for a future date, as well.

Individuals who have already registered may receive a refund of registration fees, concert and meal tickets. Charitable tax receipts for all or part of your costs, alternatively, will be issued to those registrants who choose to make a donation instead. Please note that BCCF individual membership fees of $40, which are used to sustain the organization, are non-refundable.  Thank you for your continued involvement and commitment to the BC Choral Federation and to the choral art.  Our administrator and registrar will be in contact in the coming days. Separate notices about the Annual General Meeting and BCCF Raffle will also follow soon.

Looking forward, please mark your calendars for BCCF CHORFEST 2021 in Ashcroft, May 21-23, 2021. We look forward to singing together again!

Willi Zwozdesky
Executive Director – BC Choral Federation
