The Sound of Music --The Weinberg Songsters
To spread the joy of
their love of music, a
married couple
residing at Weinberg
began the Weinberg
Songsters several years
ago. The choral group
consists of Weinberg
residents who rehearse
weekly in preparation
for annual recitals.
Volunteering at Wein-
berg for the past
eight years, Nancy
Himmelstein has faith-
fully led the Songsters
through a variety of
classic favorites for
the past couple years.
Under Nancy’s
direction, the Song-
sters has grown in size
to nearly 30 members
strong. On any given
Thursday, you will
hear the 5th floor of
Gidwitz Place
resonating with the
sound of their voices
united in song.
