Choirs
OK, that is really a picture of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. We are somewhat smaller, and less famous, but very enthusiastic. Join us! We now include singers from the Elkhorn UU Church, as the "United Voices" choir.
Please check the News & Events page for the most up to date rehearsal schedule. All are welcome to join.
If you have any questions, please contact our music director, Lina Schaal, directly at: lschaal@wi.rr.com or 262-763-8022.
