Over the last two months, I have been involved in a project with the NYCGB Alumni to record one of our favourite pieces, the American folk song “Shenandoah” arranged by James Erb.

• We did it because we love singing.
• We did it because we love our alumni family.
• We did it because we love this piece of music.
I hope you love it too.
