Welcome Members of Living Room Choir ANEW Spring Session 2023!

This page is designed to be your one-stop shop for all things this Spring Session.

It will continually be updated, so check back often!

Update:
Please invite your Family and Friends to the Big Sing!

We will be sharing material we worked on this session as well as teaching them parts so they can sing along (although there’s never any pressure.) These events are always joy-filled and fun, with a casual, welcoming vibe. Just like a living room!

Here’s the link for the Big Sing (you are invited also to share the info publicly, on social media etc. Let’s get the word out!)
