Chorus Members Awards
Gaylle Turner Award - (Durham Shores Founding Director)
This award is to honour the personal commitment to a high level of learning and achievement. It is for a member who has been part of the chorus for more than a year and who has shown their commitment to increase the quality of their personal vocal mechanism and/or a commitment to share their knowledge with their section or the chorus at large. This commitment to learning is demonstrated by doing such things as: attending regional or international music schools, being present for coaching sessions, seeking PVIs, or seeking outside musical training.
The Music Team (Section Leaders, Assistant Directors and the Director) will put forth nominees for this award, and the selection of the recipient will be made by past winners of the award.
