24 members of the MUN school of music and invited.

11 members of the Nain Moravian choir and 2 organists.

6 members of JHMS choir/brass band and their instructor.

4 person documentary crew.

2 person crew from OK society.

Church lit up for filming.

2 years of planning and practicing came to fruition last evening. I think the audience came away more than very pleased with the way the performance went down.

Professor Tom Gordon can be proud of the work he, and others, put in to make this event a success.

Now the whole shebang, minus the local performers, moves on to Hopedale for Easter, then Makkovik and finely Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

There were some added pieces during the evening and the whole assemblage joined in with 'we shall meet again' to finish off the night.

I think the highlight for the church was the donation of two brand new violins from JHMS. The principal of the school presented them to Chief elder David Harris. I would be remiss if I did not mention Tom Gordan's role in this too.

Both cultures benefited from this collaboration, you should have seen the look of joy and pride on the local church members, something to behold.
