The forty-eight singers who make up the Carolyn Mawby Chorale come from all walks of life. They are teachers, lawyers, superintendents, pharmacists, medical personnel, computer technologists, accountants, engineers, preachers, and travel agents. They are moms, dads, retirees, and most of all they are in love with the experience of singing! They come together once a week for two hours to make music for themselves and for the hundreds of people who come to hear them.
