25 September, 2025 Message from Gayle Dear Philo Singers: One of my personal goals this season is to get myself to more choral concerts, for my own personal pleasure. to support my friends and family, and to help support choral arts in general in the Philadelphia area. So, it is with a bit of personal privilege that I share this with you.   Choral Arts was founded years ago by one of my teachers and several of our Philo singers, friends, colleagues, and soloists sing with this group.   The attachment gives some info AND a discount code. Maybe I'll see you there!  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1apQtgZ91e9SOFBXSbBKvindW5LVehZYk/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=102387573291399489048&rtpof=true&sd=true
