Do you need a Braille program?

With prior notice before a concert (a two-week lead time is ideal) we can prepare Braille copies of the concert program book for use by visually impaired concertgoers.

To request a Braille program for our next concert, send us your name, address, and phone number to Info@MCChorus.org. Include at least a last name so that we can hold the program at the ticket desk at the concert location on the day of the performance.
