  Margaret Campbelle-Holman to Deliver Keynote Address At Barbershop Harmony Society's Harmony University   

     

Mike O'Neil, Director of the Barbershop Harmony Society's Harmony University recently emailed Todd Wilson and shared the following news about one of our own.

 

"Todd, I wanted to take a brief moment to congratulate you and the Nashville Singers for honoring a very worthy recipient in Margaret Campbelle-Holman for Arts Advocate of the Year. She has inspired so many with her relentless support of all things music education and her passion for children is unmatched! It is for those reasons above we have chosen her to be our Keynote Address at Harmony University inMCH 2014.  She will undoubtedly change the lives of all who listen to her speak, listen to her message, and listen to her children sing.  The dates for Harmony University are July 27-August 3 and the Keynote specifically will take place the evening of July 27th."

  Kudos to Ric Domenico 

     

ric The Nashville Singers organization is very blessed to have so many talented people helping us on and off the stage.  

 

Someone that deserves some special recognition is Nashville Singers charter member, soloist, lead section leader and music librarian Ric Domenico.  

 

We are very fortunate that most of our learning media comes from uber-talent Tim Waurick. However, when Tim is not an option, we do not have to look very far for an outstanding alternative.

Full disclosure...

While we do compensate Ric for his learning media production and adapting services, he donates his services to the Nashville Singers for music engraving and sheet music printing.  

 

Thank you Ric for your above-and-beyond commitment to the Nashville Singers organization.

 

If your organization needs some assistance with the services mentioned above or below, Ric Domenico will do a great job for you. His contact information is posted below:
