Rong Rong Choir

融融合唱團 Rong Rong Choir

融合唱團於 1976 年春天在華盛頓州 Bellevue 市成立。 融融的宗旨是聚集愛好歌唱的朋友,同以華語歌曲展喉舒懷,同溫往事,同敘鄉情,進而促成華語音樂藝術能廣傳海外,更希望以歌會友融洽相處而成為一個大家庭,故命名為「融融合唱團」。如有興趣加入融融行列者,歡迎與 Kelly Huang (425-361-3501) 聯絡或上網查詢 www.RongRongchorus.org

 

Rong Rong Chorus, founded in Bellevue, WA in 1976, brings together friends who love singing to express emotions through mandarin and world music, share cultural heritage, and promote the Art of Music. We foster harmony and joy among members, functioning like an extended family. Interested in joining our prestigious ensemble?
