As many of you may be aware, our beloved collaborative pianist, Lorri Dixon, has been hospitalized. She is improving but we've had to bring in another collaborative pianist for this week's rehearsal. Elizabeth McLenaghan has stepped in to help us while Lorrie recovers. Beth is a graduate of the MoWest and has been a sought after collaborative pianist in the state. After her first rehearsal with the ensemble yesterday she sent us this message:

"Heya- I just wanted to tell you how _AMAZING_ that group sounds. I can't believe the shift in tone and just how much they think and respond like grad students. I was truly blown away..."

While we continue to pray for Lorrie's speedy recovery, we are grateful to Beth and appreciate her observations of the work we doing with the Choral Program here MoWest.

If you want to hear the MoWest Chamber Choir,the Choral Experience, and the MoWest Chamber Orchestra, their Presidents Concert is Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 4PM at First Presbyterian Church in St. Joseph. This concert is FREE.
