History / Biographical
The Saskatchewan Golden Jubilee Choir, also known as the Saskatchewan Jubilee Choir, was comprised of 42-44 students, aged 14 to 17, from Regina's high schools. Neil Harris was jubilee director of musical productions. Lloyd Blackman (Central Collegiate) and Don Cowan (Scott Collegiate) were the choir's conductors. The group toured out of province in 1954 and 1955 to publicize Saskatchewan and to invite visitor's to the province's 1955 golden jubilee. In 1954, The Saskatchewan Golden Jubilee Choir performed in Minneapolis St. Paul (Minnesota State Fair), Milwaukee (Wisconsin State Fair) and Chicago. In 1955, the choir sang in Chicago for 25,000 Rotarians on May 31 for the organization's 50th anniversary. The choir also toured Toronto and Ottawa to sing for University of Saskatchewan alumni.
