2017We are very excited to announce that this year there we will be under the combined direction of three excellent conductors. Our current director, Lionel Pierson will be joined by Adam Brockway, previously the director of acclaimed ensemble Naya Chorale and Perry Joyce who hails from the WA opera chorus, Giovanni consort, and Rejoice Gospel Choir among many others. Each of these directors is an exceptional conductor with a wealth of musical knowledge to impart and working with them promises to be an incredibly rewarding experience so we urge you to jump at the opportunity!Rehearsals Rehearsals are currently held on Wednesday nights, 7:00 to 9:30. Attendance is required to all rehearsals, except in significant circumstances.
