After 9 years of caring, compassion, and steadfast After 9 years of caring, compassion, and steadfast leadership, Marie Anderson has decided to conclude her role as our Artist Director. The gifts of her time and talent have been instrumental (pun intended) in building SONG into the organisation it is today and for that we are truly grateful. Our students have learned and benefited so much from her instruction and leadership over the years - here are some of their words of appreciation: “Marie is fun and kind, strict but never mean, she always takes the time to find out how you're feeling at the beginning of each lesson and she really cares, and she is NOT annoying!” It’s clear that Marie brings great joy to her teaching. You can see it in her eyes and hear it in her frequent laughter. We’re pleased to say that she will continue to direct some of the SONG choirs and support the continued growth of SONG’s programming. Please join us in thanking Marie for all that she has done and continues to do for our community!

Foodland's website says "To us, local doesn't mean Foodland's website says "To us, local doesn't mean just local; it means something so much more." If you know John Foley and the team at @cobourg_foodland you know how much they take this to heart. Their sponsorship of all SONG snacks for the 2021-22 season is just another way they're showing their commitment to local. Thank you Foodland for supplying snacks for more than 70 students in the SONG program each week. #locallove #gratitude #sponsor #northumberlandcounty #cobourg #soundsofthenextgeneration #musicmakeskidsfeelgood
