What kind of music do you like? We do it all...sacred to secular, pop, rock, jazz, disco, yacht rock. While we primarily perform choral pieces, we also offer ensembles for brass, woodwinds, SSA, handbells, and even ukulele. We believe that everyone should make some music, and no one is too old. Here's a list of the musical pieces we've performed in the past.
