Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation

Sing for Care

  In the fall of 1999, twenty women came together to form the female vocal ensemble Les Ms.  Sharing the group's  passion for performing quality choral music and the camaraderie of singing together with other women, Dr. Valerie Long eagerly came on board as director of Les Ms. 

Today, this 35 member ensemble is recognized for its high quality music and unique performance style.  Delivering an eclectic repertoire that includes sacred music and spirituals to traditional, pop and vocal jazz, Les Ms.’ performances are known for their high energy presentation style and engaging audience connection.  It is this exceptional style of choral music presentation and love of music that make performances by Les Ms. so unique, entertaining and memorable. 

Les Ms. takes great pride in its performances with other local choirs, particularly for events benefitting the community. The group's anchor event, Les Ms. & Friends Sing for Care, was created five years ago as an annual benefit concert to support the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation’s Patient and Family Support Fund. Every year, the event provides an exciting opportunity to highlight and celebrate other choral ensembles and musicians as they come together to share their gifts of music in the spirit of collaboration and good will. Over the past five years, Les Ms. & Friends has contributed over $60,000 to this important fund.
