The Hills Are Alive!
The hills in Berkshire County are alive with the sound of music and song via Zoom every other Tuesday.

Barb Hyland , Pam Basinski (Music Committee), and Maria Brodeur ( Secretary). We are looking

th
May 29 was a special evening for us. We gathered for our first social event since March 2020. We
honored our Chorus friend Teresa Kryzystof who passed away last November. We decorated river stones
with special messages and placed them in a flower planter. A group of us brought the planter to St. Joseph
Cemetery and placed them on her grave. We sang her favorite song, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”
and “How We Sang”. This was a beautiful reunion for us, and Teresa will remain in our hearts forever.
As we begin to slowly socially gather safely, we can continue our tradition of singing together again and
loving the joy of harmony. We have begun to sing together at the McKay Street parking garage adjacent to
our rehearsal space. The acoustics are great and the joy we feel to be singing together in person is
indescribable!
We are Berkshire Hills Chorus Strong and back in the Berkshires!
