Change of Venue... and what a new venue indeed!

Many of you already know there was recently some water damage to the roof of the Chiesa di San Rocco in Venice, which was the original the locale for our scheduled first concert on the evening of February 16. As a result, the Select Chorus will now sing in the adjacent Scuolo Grande di San Rocco, a 16th century architectural masterpiece which houses some of the greatest works of Renaissance art in all of Europe. Composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi performed their music in this same extraordinary space some 400 years ago!

To say we're all excited is an understatement!
