Spíra

Spíra is a young adult community choir, active during the summer months. The ensemble rehearses on Monday nights, and is characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, manageable commitment, and young energy. Spíra is a choir perfectly suited for folks who are developing their music skills or sharpening their social justice knowledge, and for folks who need more flexibility than is generally given in choral ensembles. It's season only lasts for 6 weeks, making it a manageable and fulfilling recreational experience for singers of all abilities.

Spíra 2022 - Stay tuned for information!
