Following the success of last year's first-ever River House Christmas Carolers, we'll welcome the Spring holiday with a special Easter Caroling class in March.  In the first three classes we'll prepare a short program of Easter songs.  In the fourth and final class we'll perform our program across the street at the Coastal Community Center (and possibly other venues).

Recordings of the melody and alto harmony lines for each song will be available by email as MP3 files prior to the start of class.
