A-State Choir Members to Deliver Singing Valentines
JONESBORO – Quartets from the Arkansas State University Concert Choir will deliver Singing Valentines on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13-14, to patrons within a 25-mile radius of Jonesboro.

This annual fundraising event helps to support A-State Choirs’ travel tours and provides opportunities for the choral students to attend state, regional, and national music professional conferences.
