If you have sung sometime in your life, want to return to singing, or have never sung outside the shower, join other music enthusiasts for a weekly rehearsal of seasonal and holiday music with professional conductor Jeanne Kelly.

The class, designed for adults 55 years and above is instructive as well as enjoyable. Learn proper breathing techniques and how to improve your voice through tone production as Kelly guides participants through weekly rehearsals in three- and four-part singing. The season will conclude with a performance with other Encore Chorales at locations in the DC area, as well as a local concert at the Potomac Academy of George Mason University. Be a part of a true harmonic convergence-if you can talk, you can sing!

She founded Encore Creativity for Older Adults in June 2007.
