Message from the Music Director

For over ten years I have worked with choirs at virtually all levels: from professional to pre-school. That experience has taught me that - without a doubt - EVERYONE can sing. I have also learned that any group of committed individuals - regardless of their level of musical experience - can present a beautiful and compelling performance of just about any piece of choral music.

Membership in the ENC Choral Union is free and is open to everyone. There are no auditions, and you do not have to have any experience singing. You don’t even have to be able to read music.

Visit this site in August 2010 for information about the date of our first rehearsal for the Fall 2010 semester.
