Midori Marsh

At the March 7 Music in the Afternoon concert, Annette Sanger, CDA Committee Chair, presented this year’s award to Midori Marsh, soprano.
In her thanks for the award, Midori exhorted us all to sing, in and out of the shower, as the best way to personal pleasure, and community strength and unity!
