High school singers will refine their craft through the rehearsal preparation and performance of challenging literature for the 'All Is Well' concert. Audience members will experience a culturally significant and meaningful choral performance. Evaluation will occur by monitoring audience engagement through ticket sales, social media interaction and post-concert survey responses.
