addition to the concert described above, we’re hosting a post-show Reception/ Afterglow, where you can:
-
Share in some light refreshments

Catch up with friends

Sing some old favorites with your former choir mates

If you can’t make it to the Saturday show, the special alumni ticket prices are good for this concert, and we would love for you to sing the Alumni Set with us!

If you’re planning on attending on Saturday afternoon but would also like to join us for the Friday evening “Alumni Set”, we would love for you to come. Let us know, and we’ll notify you about what time to show up and will save a seat for you in the Narthex/Lobby!
