be the pinna-
the college

ntany to
cle of
choral
veral reasons. First
and foremost is that

work will be done
with a massed choir
and orchestra.
No matter what your

ther it be seeing a
superb symphony in
concert, watching a
fascinating and high

150-voice chorus per

choral composition,
or thrilling to the
voice soprano soloist
Cynthia Clarey, it is
a certainty that if
you are among those

pointed!
