In what is proving to be perhaps the most anticipated choral event of the season, this new group of highly skilled musicians will partner with the legendary Simon Carrington to present a cornucopia of choral music. The program features music from the Renaissance to today with composers like Josquin, Byrd, Purcell, Charpentier, Brahms, Chilcott, Pärt, and local composer Ian Coleman. The ensemble is made up of some of this area's (and the country's) best of Carrington's former students.
Tickets are available at the door for both performances. Visit them on the internet at www.simoncarringtonchambersingers.com
