Our History
In 2000, Robert Wood retired temporarily from the directorship of the choir and the baton was passed to Deanna Schaus. In the summer of 2008, Deanna stepped down and Bob once again assumed the position of Music Director, with Ron Gorham taking the position of Assistant Director.
Andrew Carruthers assumed the position of Muscial Director from 2012 to 2015.
Deanna Schaus took up the baton for the second time from 2015 to Spring 2018.
In the fall of 2018 we welcomed our new director, Victoria Rondinelli.
At present The Singers have approximately 48 members, but our numbers continue to grow as we acquire new singers.
