Many thanks, Anna!
Barbara Kelsey and Joyce Wright, Viva’s choir administrators, put “organize” into organization. Whatever a choir member needs, they have at the ready—binders of the season’s music, calendars and agendas, maps to rehearsal sites, road-maps for memorizing music, hanging files for our messages, e-mail notification, standing charts, pencils for marking our music—everything that makes it easier for the choir to focus on making amazing music together. They do it all with grace and goodwill.

All Hail!
