Main Line Singers presents …
WELCOME TO OUR SHOW!
Do you prefer the melancholy of a rainy night, the frozen fractals of an ice storm or the brilliance of a bright, sunshiny day?
We are thrilled to be bringing you this program of raindrop rhythms and sunshine serenades!
Enjoy the concert – and if you’re so inclined, feel free to sing along!
We are always looking for new members! We rehearse on Wednesday evenings and a love of fun music is all that’s required (no auditions!)
Our mission is to enhance our community through music; bringing joy, and enrichment to our singers and our audiences.
Main Line Singers is a 501c3 organization. All donations to Main Line Singers are tax deductible.
This concert has been made possible through a generous grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR HOST
St. Katharine of Siena Parish
for providing our performance, rehearsal and event space
We love it here! And are so grateful for your community-minded parish.
