I’m honored to have been featured in Colleen McNickle’s blog Inspired Choir: “Sing In the New Year with We Toast The Days by Linda Kachelmeier.” Not only does it feature a piece close to my heart, it also presents a composer feature, discussion guides, and teacher resources!
For the last decade, Colleen has been teaching music to students of all ages. She created Inspired Choir in an effort to boost her own practice as a choir teacher and share her work with others. You can learn more about Inspired Choir and Colleen here.

About We Toast the Days:
Originally written to be sung at midnight on New Year’s Eve with friends and family as a new kind of ‘Auld Lang Syne’, this piece grew into a full-fledged choral piece. From quartets to large choirs, it has been performed by community choirs, high schools, and professional groups such as Lumina, Lorelei, and this winter, Cantus. Available Voicings: SSAA, SATB, and TTBB.
