Due to a concern about a COVID-19 spread within our ensemble, and for the safety of our singers, Chanticleer, and the audience, we have made the difficult decision to not perform in the concert on March 21, 2023. We enjoyed performing two incredible concerts with Chanticleer - an absolutely phenomenal ensemble - and we know they will put on a gorgeous concert in our absence. We look forward to singing alongside them again soon!

Experience both groups as you’ve never heard them before on repertoire neither ensemble would be able to perform alone.
