Pam has been involved in the

she began dancing lessons with
Barbara Nun and speech arts with
Bonnie Shaw. She continued in
speech arts for quite a few years.
At one point Pam was participating
in piano, dance, speech and voice
concurrently. Joan Spencer was a
special person in introducing Pam
to voice. She normally didn’t take
students until age 12.

Pam was a member of the school
choir, the United Church choir and
the school band. In the Pacific
Northwest Music Festival com-
petitions, she has participated in
every category except solo instru-
ment.

Pam was bom in Terrace, the
second of two children (Chris is
her older brother) to parents Art

‘and Marilyn Kerr. Art was also

born in Terrace and his father,
Gordon Kerr, came to this area
before World War II. During her
high school years in Terrace, Pam
was a participant in all the Terrace

Little Theatre musicals. One sum-_-
mer, she coordinated the Little
Theatre Children’s) Summer
School. She represented Terrace at —
the Festival of the Arts almost
every year since the age of 10. In
her final year at Caledonia (1989),
she was voted outstanding student
in performing arts and was named
Miss Talent in the Miss Terrace
pageant. a

After graduation, Pam was read-
ily accepted into the music pro-
gram at the University of Victoria.
She is now completing Year 2 in
the performing aris program.
"Though she is still young, her
voice shows considerable develop-
ment and it is an unusually beauti-
ful instrument", wrote Susan
Young, Visiting Assistant Pro-
fessor at the University of Vic-
toria.

Pam will graduate with her
Bachelor of Music and then go on
to graduate school when she’s old
enough and her voice is com-
pletely mature.

In the interim, she is preparing
for an Eastern European tour with
the UVic Chamber Singers, in
which she will perform some
solos. From April 25 until May 17,
they will travel and perform in
concert halls in Helsinki, Histonia,
Kiev, Leningrad, Krakow, Buda-
pest and Vienna. Their final con-
cert in Vienna will be a tribute to
the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s
death.
