Dear Friends of The Bruce Montgomery Foundation for the Arts,

This is a reminder of the upcoming "Brothers Sing On!" event to take place on Saturday, September 13th from 2:00 – 5:00 PM at Founder's Hall at Girard College, located in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia. More details below.

We are inviting Penn Glee Club alumni from the “Monty Era”, as well as members of the Orpheus Club (a 150-year-old-plus Philadelphia choral institution of which Bruce and his father before him were longtime members) who have all sung many of Monty’s beloved arrangements, to join in song.

Eric Nordgren (Monty’s hand-picked successor for the PGC and its conductor for 15 years) has graciously agreed to serve again as our director.

To learn more about the Founders Hall architectural masterpiece, click here.

Parking is free, dress is casual, and the acoustics in Founders Hall are wonderful! Delicious lite bites and beverages will be served for all. Plus, having the event in the afternoon will give out-of-towners an opportunity to make dinner plans with old friends. Attached is the invitation to this year’s event.

Hope to see you there!
