Chamber Singers performed for the Biltmore Estate Candlelight Christmas Event - December 6, 2017.
Mars Hill University Choral Festival 2014
We had a great time at the Mars Hill Choral Festival performing with some of the best high school choral singers from across the state. Dr. Christopher Aspaas from St. Olaf college was back to serve as the guest clinician for the event! The students learned a lot and made some great music in the process.
