"This choir is pretty much a symbol of how lucky we are to live in Oakland. Five stars is simply not enough to rate them. A wonderful diverse group of people in the choir and in their audiences all celebrating in their own way. I love this choir, and I love Oakland. Don't miss next year's Christmas Concert at the Paramount." -Nikki R.
