ā€œAs part of our many adjustments for this unique semester, the 47 members of the College Choir have split into three separate groups, requiring a greater level of independence in practice and musicianship,ā€ Gee says. ā€œI’m proud that our singers have risen admirably to the challenge, and we’ve had some wonderful moments of making music together safely and to the glory of God. I hope our recorded performances testify to their resilience and commitment.ā€
