91原创 Community Chorus (LCC) is celebrating 30 years of singing next month with songs about water.

Featuring guest artist Michelle Carlisle, the chorus has three events planned for May all at 91原创 locations.

Anita Comba, director at LCC, said this year is not just a celebration of its anniversary, but also that two of the founding members are still singing with the group today.

To commemorate the two achievements, Comba created a short video featuring the founding members, Chris LaBorde and Arne Larsen.

鈥淚t was really interesting to go back and discuss with them the reasons for starting a choir and to look back over these years and see what it has become,鈥� Comba shared.

She joined LCC through a connection with the 91原创 Community Music School. She started as a pianist for the choir for one year before she stepped into the director role, which she鈥檚 held for 12 years.

This year鈥檚 spring season is also a remount of what was supposed to be the 2020 spring season, which was cancelled due to the pandemic, Comba explained.

The water theme was chosen in conjunction with another event meant to happen in May 2020, that the choir was to be a host for, which was also cancelled.

鈥淪o, all of this repertoire I thought would be a great remount this year for our anniversary year because there鈥檚 lots of fun and accessible and lovable songs in it, that it would be a great way to celebrate.鈥�

Comba emphasizes that the group embraces the idea of community.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a really great way to immerse yourself into the 91原创 community and to become more connected to what鈥檚 going on with the choir or otherwise.鈥�

The first event is on Sunday, May 7, at St. Dustan鈥檚 Anglican Church on 264th Street in Aldergrove.

The following weekend on Friday, May 12, members will perform at Lutheran Church on 88th Avenue in Walnut Grove, and on Sunday, May 14 at United Churches of 91原创 on Old Yale Road.

Each event starts at 7 p.m.
