Our Come & Sing: Fall Back to Choir was a huge success last Saturday. We had over 80 people registered who broke into four teams to move throughout the workshops: learning two new pieces, vocal health, musicianship skills, and chair yoga for posture and breathing. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this event financially so that we could offer it free to the community. Don't miss our next event on October 10th with the music of Vaughan Williams!
