Saint Mary's College Choir Spring Tour- Don't Miss it!

For those of you who live in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, I hope you will try to attend a concert by the St. Mary's College Women's Choir on tour March 8^th through 15th, plus a St. Mary's Homecoming concert on March 22^nd. The choir is led by Dr. Nancy Menk, one of the great conductors in the country and especially a leader in women's choral music for the last 25 years.

Dr. Nancy Menk

Their concert dates/locations and their wonderfully varied program are listed below. The program  includes my setting of Shakespeare's Full Fathom Five from The Tempest, which was commissioned recently by the American Choral Director's Association (ACDA) women's choir national commissioning consortium of 32 choirs across the country. I’m also pleased to add that their concert on March 15^th will be in collaboration with The Girl Choir of South Florida directed by Wallis Peterson, a group which has also been championing my music lately. In fact, they will actually be singing Full Fathom Five together with the Saint Mary's choir.
