Two of Choral Art's newest choir members Catherine Pruiett and Shana Jacobus share their journeys and experiences. Shana, a former documentary producer now training as a mental health nurse practitioner, and Catherine, a music teacher with extensive experience, discuss their motivations for joining the choir and the challenges they faced. They reflect on the group's transition in artistic direction, the high level of preparation required, and the sense of community and purpose they found. Both express excitement about potential future projects like touring and emphasize the therapeutic value and cultural connections fostered through their choral participation.
