We hailed from varied backgrounds. We gathered to sing joyfully. Singing together reinforced our sense of unity and creative sharing among our members and our community. Our last music director, Mikko Rankin Utevsky, selected songs from many world cultures, movies and theater, in addition to classical choral works. Our audience got a chance to sing during our concerts, too, thanks to topical singalong selections.
Our rehearsal and concert activities were suspended due to health and safety concerns regarding COVID-19 and its many variants. After a few years of suspended activity, most of the officers reluctantly agreed that the group’s momentum was irretrievably lost, and that the best course would be to dissolve the group. We couldn’t see a way out of this.
