Recital Season is upon us!
|
|
Can you believe it’s already that
time again! Our All Ages Recital is
a bit earlier than usual this year
(Sunday May 31st), so registration
is already open! Sign up with your
teacher today. This year we have an
additional treat of hearing
Richard’s choir Pleasant
Mountain Voices perform at
the 5:30 recital.
And as always, our beloved Adult
Wine and Cheese recital is returning
for another triumphant night at PMM
on Saturday June 13th. Registration
is also open for that.
Since our recitals are frequently
well attended, we do ask that
teachers and students choose just
1 song to perform to help
ensure there’s enough time to fit
everyone in.
Anyone unable to attend March 31, or
June 13 recitals will have a
performance opportunity on June 21,
as we plan to release our Summer
Solstice Celebration video on that
day.

And birds

For
