Just finished hearing The Westminster Symphonic Choir at Carnegie Hall. It was phenomenal. Beautiful, Beautiful

Wonderful, New York choral groups should be heard more often. The ones you have here are just a sample of the wonderful performances we have available almost every week.

How about once a month?
