Watch the newest FROG performance on May 15!
Because in-person rehearsals weren't possible due to COVID-19, this spring, musicians prepared a second performance that was recorded entirely individually! The musicians' recordings were mixed together to create a full ensemble sound! Join FROG friends for this online streamed concert event, featuring guest vocalist Heni Savitri!
