Grand_Forks_Master_Chorale.mp3 When we think of sing-alongs, we might picture campfire songs or following the bouncing ball at karaoke. But a sing-along planned for Friday night at St. Michael’s church in Grand Forks will be quite a bit more high-class than that.

Listen to Mark Johnson’s interview with Grand Forks Master Chorale Artistic Director, Dr. Joshua Bronfman.
