The Fredericton Arts Alliance Looking for Projects in Area Schools

Teachers or artists can propose programs that would bring an artist to work in a school with a class of students for an extended period. Normally the projects would run from 15 to 25 hours. Artists can be from any discipline – visual art, music, writing, drama or more. The artists will be paid $600 per project. The FAA will also cover the cost of approved materials. Previous projects have included puppetry, mural painting, musical theatre, art history, sculpture, an exploration of the use of wool through the years, and more. The successful applications will be for programs to run in the fall. If artists have a great idea, the FAA can work to find a school that would appreciate the project, and if a school has an idea, we can try to find an artist to carry it out.

Full details and application forms are on the FAA website: http://frederictonartsalliance.ca

Members of the NBYC come from across New Brunswick, from Grand Falls to Miramichi City, from Sackville to Saint John, and from both of New Brunswick’s official linguistic communities. New Brunswick Youth Choir members have included published composers, solo performers in classical, jazz, and pop idioms, future conductors, instrumentalists and music educators and others planning a career in music. There have been just as many who, though pursuing careers in other areas, have made music part of their lives for the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that choral music yields—who sing for the sheer joy of singing.
Eligibility. Singers aged 16-24 are eligible to audition for the NBYC. Candidates should have some singing experience and it is strongly recommended that they can read music.
Accommodations and cost. NBYC members who must travel will be billeted with local families.

Auditions. All candidates, including former NBYC members, must submit an updated musical c.v.
Candidates who are not former NBCF members must also submit:
1. An audition recording. The recording will consist of two vocal exercises which will be provided, and two songs sung a cappella, one in the singer’s preferred language and one in a different language of the singer’s choice. 2. A brief letter explaining why the applicant wishes to join the NBYC. 3. A letter of reference from a voice teacher, music teacher or choir director.
