Second-year Selkirk College music students are getting read for this weekend’s annual gala.
Twenty students will appear on stage at Nelson’s Mary Hall an the Tenth Street Campus on Saturday at 6 p.m.
The annual event showcases student talent in the music, cooking, and resort and hotel management programs.
The theme of this year’s gala is Inspiring Dreams. Funds raised on the night will go towards the Selkirk College 50th anniversary legacy fund that’s creating a $50,000 endowment for scholarships and bursaries.
Music students will play a mix of original music and covers.
Students were asked to create a pair of original songs to play this year based on the theme Inspiring Dreams and a partnership with Rwanda’s Nyundo School of Music.
Elijah Bekk’s original “Someday, Somehow” is one of the songs chosen for this year’s performance.
Tickets are available at selkirk.ca/gala-2017.
