We will read through Elaine Hagenberg’s piece Through Love to Light together
The Wartburg Choir will sing a piece or two for you
Then we will have some time to chat about campus life, scholarships, touring, and what it’s really like to be part of our musical community.
We’ll end the afternoon with desserts!

The event will run approximately 2:00–3:30 pm, is completely free, and is open to all high school singers. You can come and go as you please so if you need to come late or leave early, no problem!
