Biographical Information:
Founded in 2000 by Dr. Genevieve McGiffert, Art Song of Williamsburg worked to bring the beauty of Art Song to the denizens of Williamsburg, VA. The group continued this mission until 2007 when the combination of poor income and the death of the founder forced the organization to come to an end.
