We've updated our Photos page, newly equipped with photos from our June 17 performance of A Journey of Life. Thank you again to all who attended, who supported us in every way, and who gave such wonderful compliments afterwards. We had a wonderful time, and we hope you did, too.

After a wonderful month of rehearsals and a performance at St. Jerome's Catholic Church, soprano Amanda Densmoor says goodbye for just a while, as she leaves tonight for Oberaudorf, Germany, participating as a Young Artist in the Musiktheater Bavaria program! There, she'll be working with an impressive list of faculty and coaches, including opera singers of impressive stature who have been featured at The Metropolitan Opera, and more. Aside from multiple performances around Germany, she'll continue her musical training with vocal coachings and workshops, dance & movement lessons, acting lessons, as well as German classes. Below, you'll find some of the sights she will be enjoying in Germany, along with the listing of Young Artists! (You may recognize another one of those faces - an old friend of ours, Abigail Winston, is also participating in the same program!)

Encore!

Big News!

6/13/2018

A few days ago, we posted on our social media that big news was coming soon, and now it's here! On June 17 (the day of our concert!), we'll be releasing our second album, Now Ye Heavenly Powers. Including some of our favorite recordings from the last two seasons, you'll be getting twice the music as our last release (and twice the rumbly notes, too!). First dibs go to our audience this Sunday, so be sure to mark your calendars and be there for the release, which feature some of this generation's most talented composers, and some classics from the choral repertoire you're sure to enjoy. See you Sunday!

There goes another!

Congratulations to Anthony Jones, who is leaving today for his summer program in Novafeltria, Italy. He'll be spending the majority of the summer studying and performing in this year's La Musica Lirica opera program. In Italy, he'll be performing the roles of Normanno in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and the Secondo Commissioner from an Italian production of Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites. He's very eager to take this step forward as an artist.

And Eby's Off!

Just a few days ago, soprano Eby Buscher got on a plane to return to Italy for her summer program, Si Parla, Si Canta. While in Italy, she'll be taking intensive Italian classes, performing opera scenes in recitals across Italy, and studying Italian art song with elite vocal coaches. Eby will be joining us for the July portion of our season, when Amanda Densmoor leaves for her program. Congrats and have fun, Eby!
