This year our chapter's holiday recital will be in person at Fox Island Chapel on Echo Bay! You can also record your performance, send it to us, and we will edit it into a video on our website! The Fox Island Chapel on Echo Bay is in Gig Harbor, on a small Island with a view of the water, with a grand piano. It is located at 400 6th Ave Fi, Fox Island, WA 98333.
After the recital, you can find the video here around December 17th, and send it to family and friends, and spread some holiday cheer!
