Angelkeys Music Studio - Angela Sommer

What a great Provincial Experience in Prince George this year. Once again I had the immense privilege to travel with a large group of young singers from different parts of the province of whom some are my own students and serve as their Collaborative Pianist. In addition to the ones in this picture, there were 11 more that I was able to perform with.
I count this a great privilege and it warms my heart to work with them at this event. Thank you everyone whom I was able to share music with this week. I am truly honored.
You all sounded wonderful and performed to your very best ability.

Congratulations Abigayle Kotyk on your recommendation for Intermediate Musical Theatre at the 2026 Performing Arts Provincials in Prince George.
It will be a lovely road trip for all of us.
I am looking forward to it.

Congratulations to all Kamloops and Vernon Performing Arts Festival participants.

Thank you Kamloops Performing Arts Festival (KPAF) for a wonderful festival experience once again.
The adjudicator Sarona Mynhardt for voice is wonderful, the performances were stellar and entertaining and the organization of the event was absolutely impressive. The warmth of the atmosphere at this festival is also wonderful. To see the support between the performers and teachers and collaborative pianists just warms my heart.
Glorious music, great performances and a joy to see the young performers and how they have grown over the last years.
Bravo!
