In its own words
We provided vocal training and rehearsals for our choir community members which culminated in two large-scale public choral concerts (december 2023 and june 2024). We also produced several smaller concerts throughout the year which were open to the public. Volunteers contributed thousands of hours to make these events a success. We offered a choral workshop that was open to the public in februrary 2024.
