The last several days have been filled from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and we could not be more grateful for the experiences we’ve been given.… Read more →

The past couple of days have been a whirlwind here at the 26th Chorale workshop. It’s hard to believe that we are now officially halfway through the workshop!
