We pride ourselves on our friendly atmosphere and the quality of our singing. We are let by Will Welsford who gives his considerable experience to help us find our best voices. We sing everything from madrigals to Musicals, folk to funk and have a great time doing it! Always open to new members, particularly sopranos at the moment!

This was during a workshop and was an impromptu performance so they brought her up on stage. July 2009.

At the end of the workshop, an audience member requested that our Choir sing one of Eric Whitacre's pieces. We were doing Seal Lullaby for the competition, so we just jumped right into that one with Eric conducting us!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty darn awesome! This also features Jen McMillan on piano. The piano was really close to where I was standing, so that's why it sounds super loud in this video. Sorry.  less
