Springfield Choral Society Concerts Include Conducter's Poetry

Here in town, there's a chorus made up of professional singers, housewives, state workers, and other area residents who audition and make the cut to be part of The Springfield Choral Society. Marion van der Loo has been leading the charge for several years as the music director and conductor. Her poetry will part of the group's concerts this weekend. She recently stopped by WUIS to tell us more about it:
 

The Springfield Choral Society performs twice this weekend - on Saturday night at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Springfield and on Sunday at St. Joseph’s Church in Chatham. CLICK HERE to find out more.
