In all major cities of the world classic architecture stands alongside contemporary structures, weaving an intricate cityscape that is interesting, diverse, and reveals many stories. Music has its own ‘classics.’ Inevitably new eras emerge, new styles demand attention, and new classics are formed. Timeless music has the ability to evoke emotion, remind us of our mutual humanity, and express the inexpressible. Join Bel Canto Company in the final concert of our 40 season featuring historical ‘classics’ together with varied styles of contemporary choral music.

This concert weaves a binding thread from “Herr, wenn ich nur dich habe” by Heinrich Schutz to Reena Esmail’s “When the Violin.” Favorites by Rossini reside side by side with more recent works like “I Can Tell The World” by Moses Hogan and other emerging ‘classics’ in this memorable performance of music that is sure to stand the test of time.
