NASSAU, The Bahamas -- The Bahamas National Youth Choir celebrates 25 years of service to arts and culture in The Bahamas. On September 17, they performed for the Governor General of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Her Excellency Dame Marguerite Pindling and invited guests on the occasion of the Official Opening of their 25th Anniversary Exhibition at the Central Bank of The Bahamas.
Dame Marguerite applauded the consistent excellence of the award-winning choir over its 25 years, under the direction of Cleophas R. E. Adderley, establishing it as a cornerstone of Bahamian cultural achievement and an inspiration to all.
She said: "In the highly technological age of instant information exchanges, never- ending product upgrades, relentless drives to move swiftly on to the perceived next best "thing", be it economic, religious, political or cultural, it is reassuring to have constant elements in our society on which one may rely. As the Bahamas National Youth Choir celebrates 25 years of service to our beloved Bahamaland, it has become one such constant and reliable element in the field of arts and culture," said Her Excellency Dame Marguerite Pindling, Bahamas Governor General.
"Twenty-five years in any undertaking is a relatively long period of time, and this is no less so with cultural endeavors. This celebration therefore is indeed a laudable milestone worthy of recognition and commendation."
Dame Marguerite said she recalls attending the first concerts of the fledgling choir when she and her late husband and were the choir's first patrons.
