CONCERT  & EVENT COVERAGE

"The Golden Apples Of The Sun"

A concert in support of the Kapasseni & K projects on June 4 & 5, 2010

Shot on Friday June 4 by Peter Savage, former GHC Thursday Bass, using equipment provided by Howard Dieno, GHC Tuesday Tenor

Please note:

A) The small files that are currently active load and start playing relatively quickly (seconds to a minute +) but they only display a small image that, while clear, is too small to be able to easily recognize any of the singers.

B) The two types of large files take a couple of minutes (or more) to load and start playing but they will produce a clear, full sized image in which most of the singers are recognizable.

Please Also Note:

The #1 large files are opening for me without problems in Windows Media Player on my desktop computer but for a reason I haven't yet figured out my laptop keeps trying, and failing, to open them in Quicktime.  If you find yourself having problems opening them please let me know which program your system is trying to open them in and, if you fixed the problem, how you did it.  

The #2 large files reportedly open quickly and play well for some who had trouble with the #1 large files.  For me they take longer to open than the the #1s and they don't play as smoothly.  Go with what works best for you.

DOCUMENTARIES

A Power of Hope Video

An introduction to this great organization that we have been supporting with our winter concerts for more than a decade.

Jouney to Kapasseni 1999

A film about the 1998/9 beginning of the Gettin' Higher Choir's involvement with the Kapasseni Project which we have been supporting with our June concerts ever since.  This video shows the reasons for our involvement and the initial results.  With our support the Kapasseni Project has been so successful in helping the people of Kapasseni to turn their lives around after 30 years of civil war in Mozambique that in recent years we have been expanding our support to other projects and communities in the area. 

View on kapasseni.tv  Summer 1999

Produced by Bill Weaver of Across Borders Media (Cinematographer Ben Fox)

Return to Kapasseni 2011

A 30 minute documentary produced 12 years after the the first visit to Mozambique to build a school for the children of the village of Kapasseni. It documents the success of the of the partnership between many citizens of Victoria, B.C., and those of Kapasseni in the recovery of the village from the devastation of a 30 year civil war.  It also shows the broadening of the partnership to encompass other communities in the Kapasseni area with the Kapasseni project as a successful working model.

CASUAL CLIPS

Have you, or anyone you know, taken videos of any choir concert, SWAT or other event?   If so, please share them with the rest of the choir through this web page. Contact Us

Aura Arindam, GHC Thursday Soprano, took this casual video at the Gorge Canada Day Picnic SWAT

Denis's new style of conducting for Lay Back In The Arms Of Love at the May 31st Monday practice.  It's a bit slow to load for such a short video but worth the wait.  Especially for the prospective choral conductors among us looking for methods to make conducting more laid back.

 

From our Woyaya: Dreaming In Four Part Harmony concert

Hosted on this site:  Honey In The Rock June 13, 2009

My husband was playing around with a tiny new camera during the Saturday night concert and did a video clip of "Honey in the Rock".  He missed the first couple of seconds but otherwise recorded the whole thing.    ~ Myrna Fisher, GHC Tuesday Alto
