Dear Concert Choir,
From the moment you sang your first notes for me, my heart has made a special place for you! Thank you for making such great music with me the night of my audition. I am honored to have been selected as the next SLCC artistic director and I'm so looking forward to working with you next fall. I don't want to rush time for you, though. Your time with Mrs. Berner is precious and I hope you cherish every moment. I don't need to tell you how special she is! I am looking forward to celebrating Mrs. Berner and your success at your next concert and I look forward to hearing the music you make together.
With great respect and admiration,
Dr. Alyson Moore
