Two years ago the world was confronted by Covid 19. Here at home, we suddenly found that as a choir we could no longer be in the same room and sing together. After more than 40 years of rehearsing and performing together, all of a sudden we were cautioned that it could be dangerous, and even life threatening.

Through abstaining, we found that singing in the choir, especially on a daily or weekly basis gave, us satisfaction by striving to achieve a collective goal. But more important than that, singing reinforces our need for belonging, for belonging to something bigger than ourselves. We found that we missed something we all took for granted.

Scientists have shown that people singing in a choir breathe together in a unique rhythm that is shared by all in a unique bonding experience. That is something that we all have missed in the past two years. It took this pandemic to make us realize that we NEED this repeated experience for happiness and a feeling of well being.

Over the years many patrons have expressed how emotional our choir makes them feel. It’s the reason that we memorize all our repertoire. And that’s no easy task. We are free to show a deep understanding of the literature and convey it to our audience. We connect emotionally with them in this shared experience.

Today's concert is the culmination of the joy we all feel in bringing this music to you. It’s about the quality of life.

Thank You for helping us celebrate that “We’re Back” !

Our June concert series was a great success after two years of inactivity. We welcomed approximately 450 people at Trilogy Monarch Dunes in Nipomo, the Mission in San Luis Obispo, and at Cambria Presbyterian Church. The audience enjoyed the variety of songs ranging from classical to folk and many patrons thanked us for returning to the stage. We are now busy planning our next concert season and will post that information as soon as it is available. We hope you will join us for the next season and consider being a sponsor.
