Starbird dogs

Choir’s choir

Professional choral directors know a thing or two about beautiful singing. So you can count on Chor Anno, a choir composed largely of choral directors, singing coaches and music teachers from Washington and Oregon schools and colleges, to deliver a pretty special sound. Chor Anno will present a concert 2 p.m. Sunday at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 17010 N.E. Ninth St., Vancouver. Selections will include everything from classical to gospel to pop. Admission is a suggested donation of $20, but all are welcome. Learn more at choranno.org.
