For Men Mostly Festival
Men in Blaque hosted our inaugural For Men Mostly Festival in October 2023. Fifty-two high school students from three schools joined Men in Blaque for a morning workshop and an afternoon festival adjudicated by Dr. Irene Messoloras, the Director of Choral Activities at University of California, Irvine.
Thanks to your support, the Festival was a tremendous success. Your donation allowed us to connect with fellow musicians, learn wonderful new music, and make a difference in the next generation of singers.
Once again, thank you for your generosity, and unwavering support. We are honored to have you as a part of our community.
