Season Archive

We’ve covered a lot of ground since our founding in 1986. Whether traversing new American operas, Medieval English carols, French romanticism, or the chant-inspired sounds of Estonia, we’ve never met a vocal trail we didn’t want to follow. Explore the uncommon, the profound, and the poetic in our recent past.

A program of varied delights...from tenderness to drama, and all points in between.
