The concert includes solos, duets, trios, quartets and a quintet.
Composers being performed include Haydn, Brahms, Schumann,

both within the community and in the surrounding region. Weekly
vocal and dramatic coaching is included in their program of
study, as well as a concentration on languages and professional
career development.
