Founding Patrons
In February 2015, Opus 8 began with its first concert at St Thomas’s Anglican Church, during a snow storm. Despite the prohibitive weather, we sang to a full audience, and decided we had a good thing going. Soon after, we were accepted to Choral Canada’s Podium Conference & Festival, and we fundraised to fly out to Edmonton. A group of generous patrons supported that early project, and kick-started the shift for Opus 8 from being a volunteer choral endeavour into a professional small ensemble.
We are thankful to our Founding Patrons:
Anonymous, Clair Balfour and Marci McDonald, Lisa Balfour Bowen and Walter Bowen, Sampa Bhadra, Suresh and Nutan Bhalla, Pat Cleary, Johannes Debus, Barbara and Arthur English, Erich and Angelika Hahn, Freida and Vern Heinrich, Linda and Michael Hutcheon, Maruja Jackman, Sara and Eric Jackman, Susan Lang and Patrick Lesage, John Lawson, Peter Lewis, Elizabeth MacCallum and John Fraser, Michael MacMillan, Ken McCarter, Carolyn McIntire Smyth and Harley Smyth, Sandra and David Mowat, Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata, Anne Larson and Mark Smith, Peter Partridge, Nalini Stewart
