CVNC: An Online Arts Journal in North Carolina | Vocal Arts Ensemble – Choral Singing At Its Best.
“This chorus under this conductor knows how to sing from a whisper to overwhelming intensity, how to shape a phrase, how to build to a climax, how to sing so well pitched that they take the audience into realms of possibility beyond the ordinary. . . .The concert was simply choral music at its best sung as it should be sung: artfully, precisely, meaningfully. What can top that? Next year, I suspect.”
This is the recording of the premiere of “Hear Our Song” as performed by Common Woman Chorus and Triangle Gay Men’s Chorus.
