SINGERS WANTED

The Central City Chorus is a volunteer, community-based chorus that has performed many non-traditional choral works in its fifteen year history. It rehearses Thursday evenings from 7:30 until 10 pm and gives three major concerts per year, all at Central Presbyterian Church at Park Avenue and 64th Street. Newly appointed Music Director David Friddle invites men of all political, religious, musical and sexual persuasions to join this group and "sing it out, Louise." Men are MUCH needed and will be treated with honor, dignity and the imperial state trappings that any self-respecting tenor or bass deserves.

For more information, call David Friddle (aka Dr. Dave) at 212.838.1744. You'll be REALLY glad you did.
