Shake off those mid-March blues and let the Ewashko Singers transport you to Italy for “Vivaldi Delights”. This mid-afternoon concert will feature two sublime choral works by Venice’s most famous musical son: the well-known Gloria RV 589 and the rarely-performed Dixit Dominus RV 595 (The Lord Said). Helping us bring this uplifting music to life will be soloists Ania Hejnar (soprano), Morgan Strickland (soprano), Sonya Sweeney (mezzo-soprano), Philip Klaassen (tenor), and Ryan Hofman (baritone) as well as chamber orchestra.
