Community Outreach
One Accord is going on a road trip to Signature Park Manour. We've been there before and they asked us back - always a good sign! One of One Accord's mandates is to share our musical gifts with our community - and we love doing it!
There are fewer than 247 left world-wide so be sure to pick one up before they are gone forever. They are on sale at our concert!
