Each fall, Langsford Men’s Chorus holds an all day choral rehearsal at Skyline Conference Center in Almont, Michigan. We bring in an expert Choral Clinician who works with the Chorus normally covering most of our Christmas repertoire! Our Clinicians are leaders and experts in their fields and are widely respected and known locally and nationally. Our Chorus motto is “Brothers Sing On”, so we start the day with building fellowship over cider and donuts, and finish with a shared meal, helping us to adhere to our Chorus’ theme! We find this experience both hones our musical skills and solidifies our abilities and brotherhood!
