Kansas City's new voice

The assembled choir, consisting of singers from around the country - most with Kansas City roots - displayed near-flawless execution and seamless blending. Carrington is an excellent leader whose gestures were an effective blend of clear patterns and shaping that were never self-indulgent or extravagant and always in good taste.
