While we had created an exciting Spring Superstars 2020 live performance for you featuring aspiring teen vocalists from The MusicianShip Washington Youth Choir backed by DC’s Earth, Wind & Fire Tribute Band, we are postponing performances/appearances until we can hold a to-be-scheduled Reception Bash in Washington. In the meantime, please take a few moments from your evening to check out our interviews of the teen performers (recorded in December 2019 and produced by Ian Zych, son of Tom Zych, Finance Officer), video supplied by The MusicianShip featuring several small group performances, and a video supplied by the band highlighting their December 6, 2019 performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (where Section Chair Brian Henry instantly booked the band for Spring). All of these materials are available on the www.ourcuriousamalgam.com website.
Event Schedule Hall: Apr 23 Thu
