We are community members of all ages and musical experiences who love to sing! We enjoy sharing this passion with audiences who appreciate quality choral music of all types, from classical to Broadway, to a cappella and vocal jazz. Our concert season which runs from September to May often features a fall concert with area high school choirs, combined 3 choir Christmas concerts, and Pop/ Broadway or classical concerts in the spring. If you are seeking a warm and friendly group to share your love of singing, check us out! 0 1 www. livingstoncountychoirs. com
