Avanti Pictures Corporation, based in beautiful downtown Vancouver is set to produce a 1 X 1 hour 20 minute documentary exploring the journey of the pursuit to excellence through the body, soul and voice. A journey that leads us to the small town on the coast of BC called Powell River for the biannual, internationally acclaimed, Kathaumixw Choral Festival.

Every other summer choirs from around the world meet on the edge of British Columbia's coastal wilderness in the town of Powell River to share their music and love of singing. The International Choral Kathaumixw Festival has become known worldwide for its friendly musical atmosphere and setting. The festival features international concerts, choral and vocal solo competitions, common song singing, conductor's seminars, concert tour program and social events. Orchestras, Choirs in Residence and international soloists join the many participating choirs in an exciting week of music making.

Kathaumixw (pronounced Ka-thou-mew) is the local Coast Salish First Nation word meaning: "a gathering of different peoples."
