The Chorale ended a very successful Fall season that included performances throughout Western New York. Its acclaimed “Sacred Spaces” series brought hosts of eager listeners to a number of the region’s most beautiful and historic churches. And the choir’s annual Winter Concert drew a capacity audience to the college’s Montante Cultural Center again this year. The coming season’s activities include performances in some of the region’s finest concert venues.
