The Aeolian Singers (www.aeoliansingers.ca), conclude their 40th anniversary season with performances of their original show, Babes on Broadway.

Babes on Broadway is an original show created for the Aeolians by retired music educator, Eleanor Hall. Originally performed in the 2012-13 season, the show has been revised by choir member/actor Ryanne Chisholm, who is also directing. Babes features a storyline which takes the audience through the history of the musical with a cast inspired by Broadway’s famous female characters (Velma and Roxy from Chicago, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz to name a few). It’s a fun performance of great music for all ages featuring everything fro rollicking numbers like Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat from Guys and Dolls to the moving Seasons of Love from Rent.

Celebrating forty years of music making in Nova Scotia, the Aeolian Singers (www.aeoliansingers.ca) began in 1976 under founding director Claire Wall as a program of Dartmouth Continuing Education. Since then, they were also conducted by Jacqueline Chambers, and are currently under the direction of Janet Gaskin. The Aeolians are champions of music for women, and over the years have commissioned many new works by a range of Canadian composers, including music by singer/songwriters Susan Crowe, Connie Kaldor and the late Raylene Rankin. They’ve shared the stage with a who’s who of musicians in their innovative and moving programs, and made three recordings, including the Canadian premiere of breast cancer oratorio, Where I Live, which they subsequently recorded, and performed with Symphony Nova Scotia and throughout Atlantic Canada, the U.K. and Europe.
