I am very excited to have Ariel join us at rehearsal tonight. He has become and integral and creative part of the fabric of choral music and church music in Lincoln, NE since he was hired a First Plymouth Church a few years ago. His experience with and excitement for choral singing will be a great part of what he will offer us tonight.
