Encore Creativity provides arts and opportunities for those 55 and older through Encore Chorale and other programs. Encore University has a voice class, musicianship classes, even a drawing class. Conductor Dr. Natalie Lerch joins Suzanne to talk about the Encore Chorale of Redmond. With the choir, there’s no audition. Just come and sing, everyone’s welcome. When you show up for rehearsal, you’ll be checked in, encouraged to join, and then get together to have introductions and meet each other in a casual atmosphere. Then they’ll talk about posture, do some breathing warmups, hand out packets of music, and then you start learning music right away. You can pick the part you want to sing, the part you feel comfortable singing. This is an opportunity to bring more joy to your life. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s something that we all deserve. Encore Chorale of Redmond meets Thursdays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at The Church of the Holy Cross at 11526 162nd Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052.
