Antelope Renaissance Choir - First Concert

I attended (and enjoyed) the first concert of the Antelope Renaissance Choir this past Saturday (12/17), and it occurred to me that other singers and lovers of choral singing in the Sacramento area might like to know what the initial offering of this choir was like. So, with Dr. Lee T. Lovallo's permission, here is a link to the concert program: (click here).

This program will be performed again on Thursday evening, Dec. 22 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 14th & J Sts. in Sacramento at 7:00 p.m.

American River Chorus - New CD

The American River Chorus has introduced a new CD of holiday music called, "Mint Condition." In addition to holiday songs by the chorus, there are tracks by Far Western District Quartet Champions "Artistic License" and "Great Western Timbre Co." The price is $15, and the CD can be ordered on ARC's website: www.americanriverchorus.org.
