The Citizen, 1999-09-22, Page 22PAGE 22. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1999. On Oct. 9. a unique vocal ensemble will be arriving in Goderich from Medicine Hat, Alberta. Perhaps returning would be more accurate, since one of the members is originally from Blyth. Susan Supeene (nee Street) has been living in Medicine Hat since 1985 and, together with her husband Patrick has been raising four musical children. Among them are their daughters Flannery and Olwyn, who will be performing with their mother for the first time in concert at Knox Presbyterian Church in Goderich. “This concert gives us an opportunity to work together on a very motivating project, and because it's been a few years since we've been back to Ontario, it’s a way to give family and friends a kind of live photo album of who we are and what we’ve been up to,’’ said Susan. They will be working with excellent local musicians Sharon Johnston, pianist, and Elayne Ras, violinist, both of Goderich. Also, Susan’s brother Eric Street has been invited to perform some Chopin piano works. Both he and Elayne Ras will be featured soloists. Flannery Olwyn Growing up in Medicine Hat, Flannery and Olwyn have been able to take advantage of many musical opportunities. For the past several years, they have sung at music festivals and in benefit concerts, both as soloists and as a duo. And they are seasoned members of the Medicine Hat College Girls’ Choir, which travelled to Wales in 1997 to compete in the prestigious Eisteddfod music festival. Both girls have been soloists with the choir and, this past spring, Flannery placed second in her class of 20 contestants at the provincial music festival in Edmonton. Both girls play piano and have had experience in bands, jazz choirs, musical theatre and mixed choirs. Susan began her music training in Blyth, studying piano and voice with Winona McDougall. During her high school years she discovered the music of Gilbert and Sullivan and, cast with her father. Dr. R. W. Street, What a looker!
