about our conductor
CHOIR MEMBER

“Thank you for your meticulous work with the chorus for our performance. The music was wonderful: uplifting, graceful, quirky at times (Poulenc), and both a joy and a challenge to sing, with different reasons for each piece.”

AUDIENCE MEMBER

“Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed this year’s presentation… you hit all the high spots musically.”

BEN KAZEZ, BARITONE SOLOIST

ORCHESTRA MEMBER

“What a wonderful concert! Everyone had a wonderful time; the choir sounded so good, big audience and all the orchestra was talking about how enjoyable it was to play.”

CHOIR MEMBER

“Working with your group is always one of the most enjoyable and meaningful performances of the year. Thanks so much for the opportunity.”

Kind Words

from our friends

I can’t thank you and the Chorale enough for that wonderful concert. It more than made up for the two plus years’ delay. It seems to me that the Chorale is now singing at it’s very best…

Former chorale member

I just want to thank you for a beautiful performance Sunday evening. It was stunning “Perfection pure”. Thank you to the chorus, orchestra and soloists -a splendid job!!

Former Chorale Member

The Faure Requiem was exquisite! Woven gossamer! The acoustics enabled one to appreciate the delicate texture of the work. Huzzah for the Sopranos! They sounded like boy sopranos…such straight tone! Soloists were great! Congratulations to you and your leadership. Tears of joy were shed by many including me.

Audience member

The French Connection was superb! Beautiful singing, strong directing. Worth driving four hours. Congratulations, and thank you.
