The choir is a great community of eclectic, passionate and friendly people (about 35 members) who come together every Friday eve when in season to rehearse, learn new voice and singling techniques, work towards our concert performances, and have fun doing so. Lead by the excellent Choir Director Ben Filippone, we strive to have each member sing better than when they joined, and participate in well performed concerts in the Pittsburgh area. Our reach as a choir is growing every year since our inception in 2018.
