In Brief

Now in its sixth year, the Chorale has become a vibrant musical institution and enjoys frequent sell-out audiences. This concert will prove no different as the chorus will surprise and delight their audience with their rich, vibrant, resonant sound singing songs of Aaron Copland, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. It will be an evening of beautiful music. All performances will be conducted by Elliott Jones, Artistic Director and accompanied on piano by Michael Helman.
