“Value your time and expertise.  If you want to do what you do to the best of your ability, you have to make time to do it well.  And unless you show the world that you value what you bring to the table, you can’t expect them to do it. Go for it!”  – Morna Edmundson

Women coming together to sing is a marvelous event.  This episode highlights music from all-female vocal ensembles, as well as soloists.
