Zing! BoyZ & Chor Leoni
June 14, 2009
Dear Diane Loomer and Chor Leoni Men’s Choir,
I would like to express on behalf of Zing! Children’s Choir my sincerest gratitude to the fine group of men who came to work with our Zing! BoyZ this Spring. The performance of “Song of a Pirate Child” at Zing’s year-end concert, “Play!” was, to say the least, an audience favourite.
The special experience of working with the men gave our group of boys immeasurable confidence and pride. Over the course of four rehearsals, Chor Leoni demonstrated superb vocal modelling, pirate character development, a professional attitude and a genuine love of singing. The men could not have been more engaged and fun to work with. There has already been an increase in boys auditioning and I am confident the relationship between Zing! and Chor Leoni will have a lasting effect on the number of boys in Zing.
We treasure your support. Thank you, Diane, Spencer, and thank you to all MENtors! We look forward to developing our relationship next year.
Yours,
Lisa Reimer, Artistic Director

What a blast!
It was a complete joy to be able to spend time with these little gentlemen from Zing! Lisa, Jennifer, the parents, the board, and 'the girls' all made us feel so welcome and ensured the whole process went smoothly. I was constantly amazed at the professionalism and musicality shown by the kids (and their ability to have lots of fun, of course!).
To those 9 young men we worked with: keep singing! I think we saw that you all have a little divo each of you.
Yarrr!
