Bill Colosimo retires!

Our 2017 holiday party was bittersweet as we commemorated Bill Colosimo’s retirement after 25 years as the director of the Singing Capital Chorus.  The evening was filled with singing and warm remembrances, and included many friends and family members of the chorus.  Sheryl Berlin also announced that she would be stepping down from her Assistant Director role to allow her to spend more time sharing her love of barbershop with young people.
