Voci Women’s Vocal Ensemble Concerts
“Contemplating Comfort & Joy”
November 7th and 8th, at 4 PM
Fall is a time of introspection and change; a time to give thanks and look forward to the rejuvenation of Spring.

Join Voci at 4:00 on November 7th in Oakland and on November 8th in Orinda. Tickets may be purchased at VociSings.org
