The board of directors is pleased to announce that Mr. Robert Manners has been offered and has accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Binghamton Downtown Singers. The Board is very proud of the success of the Spring Concert and the dedication the choir showed in learning new material. We believe the choir will continue to grow and learn under Mr. Manners direction.

The Downtown Singers have spent the better part of the last year completing an extensive search for a new artistic director. Last fall we completed interviews and had rehearsals with six different candidates before offering the position on an interim basis through the concert season. This spring we continued the process by evaluating growth and surveying members of the choir.

When asked about accepting the offer, Mr. Manners said, "I am excited to be welcomed officially into the Downtown Singers family and am looking forward to continuing to share the joy of choral music across the Binghamton community."
