I’ve read and learned about the science of the overtone series before and have held onto the necessary basics, but this will involve some re-learning and new learning […]

I am programming a concert for my women’s chorus around the theme “Songs of Power.” I would like to include songs that have “changed the world,” having been sung as part of great social movements. So I have two questions for you:   1. I would love to include at least one song from the […]

Board members and executive director Donavon Soumas said last week that the H.E.R.I.T.A.G.E. (Helping to Enhance Resources by Incorporating The Arts to Gain Education) Show Choir suspended operations a little more than a month ago due to funding shortages.
