Powell River Girls Choir

The Powell River Girls Choir was formed in 1977 as a 'sister choir" to the now famous Powell River Boys Choir. The choir offered training  in music reading, stage deportment and choral performance. It wasn't long until the choir was performing concerts and touring. In 1978 the choir joined the boys for their first LP recording. Since then, many singers have developed their choral skills and continued singing in advanced choirs in the program.

Ildiko Kelly

Ildiko Kelly fell in love with Powell River (and her husband) while participating in Kathaumixw on two occasions with two different Hungarian choirs. Ms Kelly received her early training in Hungary and after immigrating to Canada continued her music studies at Malaspina University College and the Toronto Conservatory of Music in Canada.  In addition to conducting the Powell River Girls Choir, Ildiko teaches piano, voice and early childhood music at the Powell River Academy of Music. In addition to her solo performances Ildiko sings in the Academy Chamber Choir.
