Petites Voix: 5 reasons its a Choral Gem
This past January I took out my score of Francis Poulenc’s Petite Voix,: 5 Choeurs faciles pour 3 voix d’enfants to prep for rehearsal.

Kate Spade & Anthony Bourdain
Very recently Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain committed suicide. I have often asked my choir members-“why choir?”. And you know, the most popular answer is not “because I love to sing!” or “I want to meet others” or “I love music”. Nope-the most popular, reoccurring answer I receive might not surprise you after all.
