Let's Get Clinical!

Next Saturday, September 29, we will have our annual choir retreat at the NYAPC choir room. I know, that's hardly a retreat, but we have a great morning planned for you. Our goals are to give guidance on improving our sound and spend extra time preparing for this fall's program of music. Please see all the details below.

Choir Retreat
September 29, 2007

Please be on time... it's not our group's strength, but if you put your mind to it and just build in a few extra minutes, I know you can do it! You're reward is a tasty breakfast.

Our Schedule

We are very pleased to welcome George Singleton, who will be leading us in a choir clinic. For more than twenty-two years, George was a member of The Singing Sergeants, the official chorus of the U.S. Air Force. He has served as soloist at Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ for thirty-three years, and served as director of the children’s choir for seven years. Additionally, he has sung both as soloist and as a member of Circle Singers, the Southern Maryland Choral Society, and for several years was the director of the USAF Officer’s Wives Club Chorus, The Skylarks.

George is a graduate of Pfeiffer University, The American University, and has studied in the Opera School of the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.

The First Posting Gives You a Choice!

We've created the NYAPC Choir blog to help form an online resource for the choir. If we manage to get our act together, we can use this space to post info on upcoming events and works, scheduling, and retreats.

Which leads us to our very first interactive feature:

What would you like to do after the choir retreat?
Go see a DC United game.
Go have Dim Sum.
Go have a wine tasting in Virginia.
