TREHERNE ANNUAL VINTAGE CAR SHOW
Sunday, June 2, 2024, Treherne, Manitoba
Winnipeg Singers were guest performers at the Second Chance Car Museum in Treherne. A great day! Three generations on stage for our alto/Executive Director, Pat Wray! Pat's been in the choir since 1997, and her daughter Ainsley Wray since about 2008. At the Car Museum Pat's 15 year old granddaughter Scarlet was invited to jump on stage and join the choir in "Battle of Jericho" which she had learned at CMYC choir camp. Maestro Yuri Klaz told us he has never directed three generations in a choir before!
