The Starling Cloud Choir Starts this Saturday!!!!!!!!

Hey Folks!

The Starling Cloud Choir Experiment starts this Saturday at the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden at 2 pm!!!!!!!!!

I have a couple of quick notes:

First of all you do not have to go to every workshop to sing at the performance on March 16. So, please feel free to choose your workshops or best of all, come to all three!

Second, the performance is gonna be FUN but if you are leaving town for spring break or just can't make the performance, you can still come to the workshops!

Check the announcement again for the times and dates and please invite your friends and spread the invite via your social networks. Regretfully, I am not an FB or Twitter extrovert, so I'm relying on you mes amis formidable.

Finally, I have been blogging about the process, so if you click on the Starling Cloud Choir subject link, all will be revealed. (Note: This is optional. There will not be a test.)

I also want you to know that the other fabulous Second Site Artists will be available at the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden during our Rain Lab to reveal part of the process of creating their installations. Check out the website for the full calendar.

Love and Peace!

Lori
