EVENTS
The safety of our audience and singers is of great importance to us. To follow government guidelines, all audience members must be masked and provide proof of vaccination. We also ask that you do not attend if you are sick. While the choir will be performing without masks, all members have been fully vaccinated and will provide a negative PCR test within three days of the event in order to perform.
