We love the Workshop Chorus!

The Workshop Chorus members are sounding great, and we love the variety they bring to our repertoire and to our rehearsals. The Workshop Chorus rehearses with us once a month, to the enjoyment and benefit of all. This spring, they will be performing with us in 2 songs.

First recording session

On the weekend, we spent a lovely afternoon in a familiar space, All Saints’ Anglican Cathedral, recording some a capella songs for a CD that we are putting together.

What a great way to spend the day! Hopefully the final product will be as enjoyable to listen to as the experience was for us.

Many thanks to Ron Yachimec Recording Services!
