For the Townsman

Students from the East Kootenay Music Teachers' Association (EKMTA) performed in two concerts recently, one on March 7 at the Green Home, followed by another on March 11 at Joseph Creek Independent Living Facility.

Over the two shows, 36  students playing the piano, violin, cello and singing, royally entertained our wonderful elderly residents.

It is so nice to be able to take the students to these facilities as it  gives  them a chance to perform in front of a live audience.  This is especially beneficial just before the East Kootenay  Performing Arts Festival, which takes place in the month of April.

We would like to thank our seniors and the staff for their kindness. We would love to welcome everyone to come to the festival and hear the amazing talent we have in the East Kootenay.
