Arlene, Francois and the Phantom of the Opera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Zci-3ZvYg

During our Music Section #5 Meeting, we were treated to a very special collaboration between our own Arlene and her husband Francois. We got a first hand awareness and experience of voice preparation, warming up, and training. Here are several photos of the core MUSES who attended our february 18th 2015 meeting.
