Jim Moses Visits Sound of Illinois Rehearsal

Former Pekin Chorus director Jim Moses stopped by the Sound of Illinois rehearsal on Tuesday, September 8th, to lead a tag and listen in on rehearsal. Click here to watch him direct the chorus!

Jim is the lead of the 1953 Illinois District champions, The Kord Kutters. He is the first director in the history of the Barbershop Harmony Society to win three gold medals, as he directed The Pekin Chorus to the international championship in 1959, 1963, and 1968.

Thanks to Jim for visiting and sharing time with our members!
