A note from the Lake Erie Choral Artists

(formerly Erie Renaissance Singers):

After 12 wildly successful seasons, Carolyn Brock has retired from directing ERS as of 2014. We are thankful forCarolyn's many years of expertise, leadership, dedication, grace and wit. We are aslo grateful to have the Brocks remain affiliated with ERS as we members owe Carolyn a debt of gratitude for

founding this extraordinary singing group that feeds the creative souls of its members.

 

Thank you, Carolyn and Charles, for opening up

your world and your home to us for more than a decade.  

We have been blessed to have you in our lives.

 

<<In memory of Carolyn Dexter Brock>>

1935 - 2017
