Что Вам сказать … I highly recommend them.
Very talented people, beautiful voices, a Burst of Energy.
Выступают они с совершенно новой программой "Come Sing Along to Your Favorite Songs".
На креслах будут лежать листки со словами песен, то есть у вас есть шанс стать частью одного большого хора, одной большой семьи, спеть вместе со всеми.
И неважно совершенно есть у вас слух или нет, обладаете ли вы голосом или нет … самое красивое пение это тогда, когда поют люди, поёт народ.
Приглашаю всех, вне зависимости от вероисповедания и возраста, Новый Год есть Новый Год для каждого в Городе Ангелов.
А таких праздников у нас у всех, слава Б-гу, много
