We wish to thank all those who attended and participated in our celebration of William Appling on Sunday, June 21st, at The Riverside Church in New York City. It was simply an amazing outpouring of love. We thank, in particular, conductor Mark Shapiro who was able to fill in at virtually the last minute to conduct J.S. Bach's Motet “Singet dem Herrn” and Bill's arrangement of "We Shall Walk." A recording of Celebrating William Appling was made and will be posted here in the very near future for downloading. Please check back soon. Here is a link to some of the photos taken at Celebrating William Appling: We are in the process of collecting the many thoughts and recollections we have received about Bill and hope to make them available in the future. If you would like to add to this collection, please send your writings to waso@muzen.com or by regular mail to: William Appling Singers & Orchestra Board of Trustees | ||||
