Allan is the Founding Director of SONAM, a chorus committed to creating high-quality sacred and secular choral music in a collaborative environment and giving back to the community.  SONAM was founded in 2012 with two primary missions: to make excellent choral music, focusing primarily on the Renaissance and modern eras, and to support local non-profits through benefit concerts.  SONAM consists of about 20 talented singers from central North Carolina and is led by Allan Friedman, director, and Jane Lynch, accompanist.  SONAM is a volunteer organization sustained by donations of time and resources.  To learn more about Sonam go to www.sonamchorus.org
