Experience of a Lifetime

Add comment June 23rd, 2009

   Singing is an amazing gift!  We are all born with the ability to sing but for most of us this gift has very little value until is is honed into something trained and beautiful.  When that happens, singing becomes an art.  The singer becomes a choral artist with the extrordinary gift of  inspiring others though song.   Beautiful and polished choral singing is an experience not of this world, spiritual and ethereal.  

Did you know that an estimated 32.5 million people sing in choirs worldwide?   That’s good news because singing in one of the 270,000 choirs in the U.S. is strongly correlated with civic engagement, teamwork and discipline…..qualities needed to live a successful life.   And, it’s fun!

As part of its 125th Anniversary celebration, the Mendelssohn Center will offer a wonderful opportunity to the community.   The world famous vocal ensemble CHANTICLEER will lead a workshop for adults interested in singing.   If you want to hone your choral skills or you just love to hear beautiful singing, please join us for the workshop on September 30 or the concert on October 1st.    It does not get any better than listening to or learning from CHANTICLEER!
