EDBL Music Chef’s Choice: Chorus Eclectic under the Direction of Alexander Taite
Directed by powerhouse vocalist and award winning educator Rameses Taite Alex, Chorus Eclectic did not let the pandemic stop them from performing with a full backing band! Piano parts were recorded first and sent to section leaders to record their vocal parts. The EDBL Music Collective then recorded our fully custom composed band arrangement and professionally mixed everything together for a comprehensive and exciting musical performance! We were delighted by the challenge of supporting and elevating this wonderful group and invite others to consider what custom composing, arranging, and/or recording with hi fi production could do for your project! Visit edblmusic.com to get inspired!

Chorus Eclectic invites vocalists from all walks of life to join them, no audition required! Weekly rehearsals for the upcoming season start today, August 3, 2022.
