A cappella love

Sara Gonzalez, Marston Science Library

This recording was from a recent performance we gave to staff and patients at Haven Hospice.  Audacity was started several decades ago by Mario Kinsey (bass), and I’ve been singing with them for about 3 years.   Our repertoire is fairly eclectic with a mixture of spirituals, doo wop, folk, and barbershop.  One of our singers is the chief of pediatric oncology so we perform at a lot of hospital events and fundraisers, and all of our proceeds go to support Shands Pediatrics.  I think what I most enjoy about Audacity is the emphasis on purposeful singing; we perform not just to sing for a crowd but to provide comfort at memorial services, to entertain at nursing homes and shelters, and to raise money for cancer research.
