Our branch’s 2024 Romantic Festival went very well at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church. Thank you Valery Kravchenko for chairing the event and Pam Gall Revitte for helping all day and getting lunch for the judges. We had 63 students and had both pianists and vocalists. Our judges, Steve Baker and Dan Yu, did a wonderful job.
