The E. C. Glass Chamber Choir has been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in April 2013.
This is an amazing but expensive opportunity, and the members, families and friends of the Chamber Choir have been busy generating funds through gifts, donations and fund raisers to help cover costs. The students and parents have been working concessions at all of the home football games and at the Lynchburg Classic earlier this month. Also, choir members are selling items including note cards featuring a water color of the school’s auditorium entrance donated by a local artist and chorus stickers with the phrase "Sing For The Fun Of It!"
The group still has a long way to go to cover the costs, so a number of fund raisers are planned in the upcoming months.
