Special Note Regarding COVID-19
We are planning for a second full season of flexibility, with Covid-19 safety protocols in place. These protocols are intended to keep all our boys, staff and volunteers safe, while also providing a meaningful choral experience. We will be offering small group in-person rehearsals, beginning in Fall 2021, as well as a virtual option for those who prefer singing at home. As the Covid-19 environment changes, we will adjust to the latest public health guidance, and make announcements along the way.
