“But what I find amazing about this form of expression is that you are working with others to create a work of art that is bigger than any one person or part.

“Joining a community choir transformed my social life in ways I never anticipated. I walked into my first rehearsal feeling nervous and out of place, yet I left with a sense of connection that was almost electric.”

“I hooked up with the band fall of 2023 and played in my first ensemble Christmas Concert since singing in my high school choir in 2001. And let me tell you, it’s a blast.”
