Dear music lovers,
Tonight’s concert marks an important milestone in the history of the Bishop’s University Singers. We are celebrating a generous donation by Québecor that will enable us not only to consolidate our concert series but also to develop innovative musical, educational and community projects.
It is an honour for Bishop’s University to count Québecor’s President and CEO, Mr. Pierre Dion among its graduates.
Founded in 1967, the Bishop’s University Singers now comprises more than a hundred members. We perform with the best musicians in the region, including the Orchestre Symphonique de Sherbrooke, tackling both ambitious classical repertoire and high-energy popular music.
Tonight I am especially aware of the debt we owe to those who have given their time and talent to the Bishop’s University Singers through the years: founder Howard Brown and past directors Nancy Rahn and Jamie Crooks, associate director Melinda Enns and accompanist Francine Leng. I am grateful, too, for the many generations of singers that have brought our projects to life and the audiences of the greater Sherbrooke area that have so graciously come out for us. Finally, I want to thank Bishop’s Principal Michael Goldbloom. His support for the choir and for the performing arts has been integral to the success we celebrate this evening.

Message from Pierre Dion
Quebecor has always cultivated close ties to the community. As an engaged corporate citizen, we are committed to building lasting, enriching relationships.
The Bishop’s University Singers Choir represent the very best of the civic spirit we hold dear. The choir includes 100 singers ranging in age from 15 to 80, English and French, from every walk of life, bringing the Eastern Townships community together in a common pursuit and a shared passion for music.
As an Eastern Townships native myself, I take a special interest in supporting the University Singers. On behalf of Quebecor, I wish you all an enchanting musical experience and a magical holiday season!
