With five concerts in the lineup, participants were able to choose between ukulele, strings, accordion, choir, or percussion.

“It’s a chance for anyone to come out and make music,” said choir music director Benjamin Campbell.

Campbell said anyone is welcome to go online to download the music. They can practice on their own before the scheduled rehearsal, which is immediately followed by a 30-minute performance.
