Heart & Soul Choir

Special Needs Choir

Heart & Soul Choir in its 4th season with the Decatur Park District. The choir provides a place where people with special needs are able to express themselves through the musical art of singing. Heart & Soul is an apt name for the group because they sing with all their Heart. They involve themselves totally in the activity. When music is expressed in an honest and genuine manner it speaks to the soul. Heart and Soul has performed at Trees on the Tees, PURPLE UP DAY and as special guests at the Greater Decatur Chorale’s concerts in the past. Caregivers are required to attend rehearsals and participants must be 18 years of age or older and able to be engaged in a 60–90-minute rehearsal.

Call 217- 619-8044 to register.
