In our final concert of the season, we bring you a masterful presentation of musical richness from singers young and old.

In collaboration with the Heritage High School Chamber Choir, we are thrilled to be singing Elaine Hagenberg's Illuminare, along with a myriad of other selections to draw you in and rejoice in the incredible heritage that is song.

The making and performing of music is an art that has been passed down for hundreds of generations. By learning and studying it we become inheritors of a great gift, and it is for the joy of song that we desire to share its beauty with everyone.

Please come and join us as we wrap up a fantastic 40th year.
