Encore Creativity for Older Adults is coming to the greater Puget Sound area. Conductor Dr. Natalie Lerch joins Suzanne to talk about Encore’s program in Seattle. Since receiving her DMA from the Eastman School of Music, Dr. Lerch has taught voice, diction, repertoire, pedagogy, chorus, chamber singers, chamber ensemble, opera and musical theater workshop, ear training, piano for voice teachers, and musicianship at Cornish College of the Arts. Singing is about bringing the joy of doing it. Dr. Lerch will be starting the Encore Chorale of Redmond, meeting Thursdays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at The Church of the Holy Cross in Redmond to share music. If you want to sing, join them. Beginners are welcome. You’ll learn how to match pitch, learn how to listen, and how to blend. The church is at 11526 162nd Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052.
