Welcome to Fall 2024!

This fall, our theme is “The Americas – Energy, Hope, and Joy!

We’ll be exploring music, history, and cultures from all over America — North, South, Central and The Islands! There’s a wealth of music which we’ve never heard.

We’ll also think about social and political issues, geography, natural resources, challenges and triumphs – all as they contribute to the music we are studying and performing.
