Flin Flon may be celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this weekend, including performances by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, but when it comes to the arts Crystal Kolt is the jewel who shines the brightest in that northern community.
Flin Flon has always had a rich artistic environment, including a Glee
Club that thrived four decades ago. What was needed was some leadership
to bring the musical activity back to life.
Enter Crystal Kolt.
On any given day you might find her organizing a house concert or
helping members of the Flin Flon Community Choir wrap their heads around
the intricacies of Mahler's Second Symphony or getting the whole
community involved in the latest festival she's concocted.
Kolt's
friend and colleague Linda Allen says she has had a tremendous impact
on the community. Her energy is astonishing and her enthusiasm is
catchy.
