Friends, many of you know that our dear friend and wonderful bass, Steve Johnson, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on November 25th.  Steve was also the beloved husband of our soprano, Dede Johnson, and a devoted fan and advocate of the Chorale. His presence -- both musical and personal -- was a gift to us all and is already deeply missed.
PLEASE JOIN us as we honor and celebrate Steve's life and the joy he brought to our community, and as we surround Dede with our love, support, and solace during this difficult time.
t time.

The celebration of Steve's life will take place Saturday, January 25th at 12:30pm at St. Francis By The Sea Episcopal Church, Blue Hill. Elaine, Dede has asked us to participate by singing the Lutkin Benediction and Take Me Out to the Ballgame. (An arrangement of this will follow shortly!)
