📸💙 A New Season Begins!

This week, Encore singers gathered in rehearsal spaces across the country to begin another semester together. One of the most meaningful parts of every new season isn't just opening a new piece of music—it's hearing someone say, "I'm so happy to see everyone again."

Thank you to every singer, conductor, coordinator, volunteer, and staff member who makes Encore such a welcoming community.

Here's to another season of music, friendship, and lifelong learning!
