PARKINSONG CHOIR
Home Page
The ParkinSong Singers is a community choir formed as part of the Bay Area Parkinson's Support Group. The group hopes to bring together people with Parkinson's Disease, their partners, friends, caregivers, and community members to sing together and offer mutual support to one another. Music is very beneficial for all people, especially those dealing with physical, mental, and emotional health challenges. We rehearse twice a month during the daytime for 90 minutes, with a break in the middle for refreshments and camaraderie. The group performs a variety of genres at local care facilities, at Bayfield's annual ‘Blessing of the Fleet event’, and for other events in the Chequamegon Bay. Under the guidance of a new director - Vince Schueren - the Singers would like to expand our numbers! We are seeking people of all ages, with any vocal range or ability. Participants need not have a connection to the Parkinson community; a desire to sing with a group and enjoy each other's company are the only requirements.
