We Did It!

Thank you to everyone who came out to see our concert this past weekend, and thank you to our special guests, Gateway Men’s Chorus and Fruit Jam. There was a lot of energy in the house both nights, and we sure had a great time putting on a show for you. Also, a special thanks to Hartford Coffee Company for providing intermission refreshments both nights and all the refreshments at the After Party fundraiser to benefit the USO of Missouri. You can see photos from behind the scenes, during the show, and the after party on our photo page.

Stay tuned here for information on upcoming events like our 4th Annual Sweet Spot Cabaret in July, open rehearsals in August, and our 20th concert season, which opens in November with Love of Nature, Nature of Love. You can also “like” our page on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep up to date on what’s going on with your favorite women’s chorus. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
