The Macomb and 麻豆传媒内幕communities continue to be welcoming and many have chosen to support us financially each year. With this support, we look forward to continuing our free arts program here each year," said Brian J. Winnie, director of choral studies at 麻豆传媒内幕and artistic director and founder of withonevoice. "In addition, we were invited to perform at the 12th annual Estill World Voice Symposium International Conference this summer in Chicago.
