| | | | | | In the large meeting room of the Aegis Living of Moraga community, a group of about 20 residents gathered Saturday, September 28 to sing. What was special about that day was that music professor Carol Alban invited two of her young students, Alyssa Lewis-Smith and Eliza Rutzen, to come to practice. The choir has been meeting every Saturday morning to prepare for their holiday concert. On this special Saturday, the seniors rehearsed some old time favorites such as Tea for Two, Hello Dolly, When the Saints Come Marching In, All of Me, and Climb Every Mountain. The two girls enjoyed singing along and playing some piano. Voices were strong and in tune. "This is so beautiful, and I think we sound really good," said one Aegis singer.
