Directors: Kathryn Southworth and Susan Papinsick
Meets on Tuesdays, 7:00-8:15 PM
Formerly known as “The Canterbury Singers”, the group has steadily expanded its origins from Shaker music to include folk, swing, novelty, and gospel. Our new name reflects an even more inclusive selection of styles, from centuries-old classics to the Beatles! Music reading ability not required; sessions will include lots of “joyful noise” as well as tips for improving essential musical and physical vocal skills. Performance opportunities will be offered but are optional for participants.
