A Doctorate took a lot of work.

Ever since I first heard Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers at the age of 12, Renaissance and Baroque choral has been my absolute favorite form.

My home choir is Schola Cantorum of Silicon Valley (CA) https://scholacantorum.org/ with our next concert on May 31st.

However, the Carnegie Hall concert is with VivaLaMusica under the baton of Shulamit Hoffmann.
We have a pre-concert of the Mozart on June 1st in Los Altos, CA if anyone local wants to come and listen.

Sadly not many church choirs perform the music that was written for them these days.

I started the year with several performances of Beethoven's ninth, then Carmina Burana, Faure's Requiem, and now some spirituals and the Mozart to round out the year.
