Our spring concert, “Celebrating Our Stories,” will be Friday, April 19, 2024, at University Presbyterian Church, Fresno, at 7:30 PM. Dr. Carter asked the members to share stories about their heritages, such as immigration, colonial settlement, Ellis Island, the Civil War, and the Great Depression. Dr. Carter then selected music to reflect the languages, hardships, and joys that each member’s families have gone through, not only by composers or in languages that represent the countries and other states their ancestors came from, but also about what it means to leave a familiar place and find a new one – with loss as well as gain. You will hear some of those stories from the individual singers during the concert! We will also celebrate the future of singing, as we will be joined by the Luminosa women’s choir from Clovis High School, directed by Tami Spurgeon.
