Performers will include Margery Heins, conductor; John Yannis, accompanist; and soloists from the chorus. This is the group’s third and final concert of the fall 2024 semester. Second semester rehearsals will begin in early February 2025.

Audience members are advised to reserve extra time for parking and walking to the main entrance, as Lot A is the only general parking choice due to campus construction.
