Linda Burk - Remember, Renew, Rejoice!

Remember, Renew, Rejoice!

November, 2021

Singers in Accord welcomes our friend Linda Burk as guest director to present a beautiful fall concert program titled "Remember, Renew, Rejoice," centering on our journey as we joyously returned to singing together. The song texts welcome music back into our days with selections from composers such as Paulus, Dickau, Purcell, Gershwin, Hagenberg, and more.

This event will be livestreamed from our "Singers in Accord Song Factory," where we rehearse and perform with careful pandemic choral guidelines in place.
