Great Pre-Assessment Concert Last Week!
Bravo to all of our Choral Ensembles on excellent performances at the Pre-Assessment Concert on Wednesday!
Professional concert recordings and photographs will soon be available to you on our website.
A Special Thanks to all volunteers who helped our concert run successfully!
We could not have done that without the help of many of the dedicated parents from not only Camerata and Bella Voce that were responsible for providing volunteers but also from other ensembles. Your service is greatly appreciated!
