GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT
Schoharie Valley Singers
The Schoharie Valley Singers were founded in 1979 as the Depot Lane Singers by the late Frances B. Tripp, a former Schoharie High School music teacher. In 2018, the Depot Lane Singers were renamed the Schoharie Valley Singers and became incorporated as an independent not-for-profit 501(c) 3 organization. Over the years, the group has grown to include singers from Albany, Montgomery, Otsego, Schenectady, and Schoharie counties. Singers of all ages and abilities are invited to join an afternoon of community song.
