CHORUS
Now that Spring is on the way, we welcome our singers back to rehearsals on March 12 as our Director Mark Radlowski prepares us for our Spring music. Ladies be there at 5 p.m.; Mixed joined by men at 5:30 p.m. followed by Men only at 6:30 p.m. If you know of anyone who would like to join in the American/German singing, invite them to our rehearsals. We have lost so many of our singers due to health issues, therefore new singers are always welcome so we can continue with an active chorus. Last month a long-time singer Dominika Prigl passed away and we were pleased that 21 of our Chorus members were able to sing at her memorial service. Her family was extremely pleased with our support. One of the nicest advantages of Utica Maennerchor is that we are an extended family for so many.
