Concert Themes

Each of our programs is designed to be educational as well as entertaining. The works we choose for a concert are always related to each other in some way. Our programs may tell a story, explore a single theme in a variety of musical forms, or illustrate the characteristics of a particular composer, period, or type of music.

We enjoy sharing with you what we have learned about the poets and composers whose works we perform, the times and places in which they lived, and the various forms and styles in which they created these works of art for the human voice.
