Wedgwood Women’s Chorus Invitation
Earlier this year, the Rain City Women’s Chorus disbanded after 34 years of providing women who love to sing an opportunity to come together to learn new music, make friends, and to share their passion for music with the Seattle community at quarterly concerts. Many of the chorus members want to continue singing together, so there’s a new Women’s Chorus forming in Wedgwood, and they’re hoping more neighbors (and their friends) will join them.
