Happy New Year and an Upcoming Concert Invitation!
Greetings!
Between politics and the weather, I hope that you’re finding space to be as positive as possible in this crazy world we live in.
And if you have the interest – and live in my hometown of NYC – please consider putting the National Concerts Chorus’ March 22nd, 8pm concert on your calendar.
As a member of The Prince Georges County Choral Society (PGCCS), and with other choral singers from throughout the U.S., we’ll perform works by a broad range of contemporary composers – including a composition by our own choral director, Dr. Edryn Coleman.
This concert will be held at Manhattan’s Carnegie Hall, and I can’t wait to return this famed concert venue. Carnegie Hall was the place where my High School of Music & Art (now known as the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts) held our graduation ceremony – back in the day.
So for more details about this exciting upcoming event, please click on the links above and I hope to see you then!
