2001 - 2002 Concert Season: Welcome Home

Returning from a triumphant concert tour of England and Wales, Vanguard Voices enters its ninth season in an exciting new home, the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan. The opening of the new Performing Arts Center is the culmination of a thrilling year. This summer, Vanguard Voices performed at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and Great St. Mary’s in Cambridge, and proudly represented the United States at the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, North Wales -- putting it on an even footing with the best choral groups in the world.
