Past event
Joy, tragedy, love, loss, life, and death.
Many choirs have organized performances around common milestones in life—songs about life, love, death, etc. We have attempted to set ours apart by eschewing generic life milestones in favor of a particular story, written specifically for this program by a friend of the choir. Follow our protagonist from birth, to marriage, to the bitter end—joy, tragedy, love, loss, life, death.
