This has been an incredible journey for all our members (San Francisco Community Music Center and East Bay) and for the director Ellen Robinson. Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to hire a professional engineer, William Southerland, to help us and you will see in our final product what a difference that has made. Countless hours have been spent becoming proficient with Zoom, getting comfortable singing by ourselves, learning the technology to record our singing, and finally working with a camera. This does not include the number of video takes Ellen painstakingly reviewed to provide individual feedback to each singer and also the time spent in production with our wonderful engineer.
