We're throwing it back to this reviewer who praised The Choral Project in 2008, via Yelp, by stating we are "FANTASTIC." And he added, "The choral director, Daniel Hughes, makes great selections and arrangements of choral music to perform." We can't wait to reconvene and sing for our patrons in person. And Eric D., when concerts are able to take place again, we look forward to earning that fifth star from you! #
