We offer you jazz and contemporary choral music at its best - from the lush harmony of Bill Evans and the elegance and texture of Duke Ellington, to the irresistible rhythms from Blues to Big Band to Bebop to Brazilian; classic standards as well as songs that are destined to become standards, the excitement of new music, the immediacy of poetry and the spoken word, and the rich tapestry that is vocal jazz. Let us bring vocal jazz into your life - come and join us for another groovin' season celebrating the universal voice and the current sounds of choral music. Sincerely,  |
