Kootenay Choir In Concert
Members of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ
Castlegar British Columbia Canada
Unity amongst Canadian Doukhobors
and people of goodwill, has always been strengthened by choral
cultural exchanges across the Western provinces. Kootenay
Choir, responded positively to an invitation to visit several
communities as far east as Veregin, Kamsack, Saskatoon, Blaine
Lake, Cowley, Creston and the Provincial Museum of Alberta.
Our
Tour of Friendship was accompanied by John J. Verigin,
Honorary Chairman of the U.S.C.C., who just returned from
a visit to Israel and the Holy Land. His message of peace
and brotherhood was received enthusiastically at the St. Peters
Day commemoration of the Burning of Arms by our people in
Russia in 1895.
It was memorable to perform
to a capacity crowd in the Provincial Museum of Alberta. Here,
Mr. Horst Schmidt, Minister of Culture of Alberta, warmly
welcomed our group and stressed the importance of preserving
one's cultural identity.
This
recording contains the repertoire of our Tour of Friendship
across Western Canada. It is our sincere hope that songs of
peace and brotherhood will unite all mankind into a peaceful
family which abounds in love and harmony.
