If you know good singers who would like to join us for this season of great music, please get them to join us. If they need encouragement, have them go to YouTube and search “mozart whitmire part 1.” (Editor: see links below) I think they will like what they see. I look forward to seeing everyone at our first rehearsal on Tuesday, August 25. Until then,
Peace-DrW
