Musical Union is open to all singers! This spring we'll perform Duruflé's Requiem and new peices for the Lorain County Bicentennial Celebration.

To sign-up: Complete the form here. If you didn't sing with MU this fall for Handel's Messiah I'll reach out about setting up a meeting for a range check so we can make sure you're singing the most comfortable voice part.
