What's Interesting

This is how you know it’s spring. The May Festival Chamber Choir and May Festival Youth Chorus share a glimpse of all May Festival 2020 programs in the light of Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption. Sacred works by Charles Ives and Bobby McFerrin, and a Youth Chorus commission from Cara Haxo whose music has been called “movingly lyrical” (Avant Music News), join a spectrum of works from Spanish and South American traditions.
