New Choral Group
A new choral group is beginning in the city of Lancaster. Over the centuries change, and the hope of change, have been kept alive by music. It is in that legacy and hope that Voices for Peace is rooted, singing songs of peace and social justice. Voices for Peace will meet Monday evenings from 6 – 7:30 pm at Crispus Attucks Community

Center at 404 S. Duke Street. Director Marty Kelley welcomes singers of all ages. The only requirements are: enjoyment of music, desire to make the world a better place, and interest in having a good time. There are no try-outs and no requirements for attendance as long as people try to come as often as their schedule permits. When we begin performances, there may be some attendance requirements to assure we all know the music! Please invite your friends and family members. If you have any questions, contact Marty at martykelley4plus@gmail.com or 207-478-2684.
