COOS: On the Riverbank
"Three Sopranos and a Tenor on the Riverbank" is a fundraiser for the Hands of Hope Secondary School for Orphans in Iyolwa, Tororo, Uganda.

They will also be assisted by "The Sea Coast Christian Academy Outreach Dancers".
The program will be presented on January 25 at 3 p.m. and will be of interest to everyone. There will be a variety of well-known classics, including "Pie Jesu" from the Requiem of Andrew Lloyd Webber; solos and duets by Vivaldi and Mendelssohn; and a group of favorite spirituals.
Bring your whole family and all your friends. Let’s make a difference in the lives of children in Uganda! A reception will follow in the Great Hall.
