We’re so excited to revel again with you Alex, plus Audrey this time! Last Summer Solstice, many of you joined a sun-filled day at Live Oak Park singing and dancing to songs of the season led by Alex. We even formed a huge Morris dance line winding through the park!
This spring, we’re looking forward to singing with you, Alex and Audrey!
