Join us for a celebration of 50 years of great singing at Emory & Henry College May 23 -25. Catch up with old friends, see the campus, and most importantly, sing! We look forward to a weekend of music-making with 50 years of alumni from Emory & Henry's storied choral program, culminating in a powerful musical worship service at Emory United Methodist Church on Sunday morning.
