Looking forward to the 2012-2013 season? We are too! We’ll be able to publish our coming choral season in just a few weeks. Please come back soon to be in the know… in the meantime, order tickets to the American Master concert in May. It’s a virtual triptyche of American choral music from early Shaker tunes to a piece that’s yet to be published.
