2005 - 2006 Concert Season: Music for the Seasons

Join us as Vanguard Voices salutes the seasons in its 14th year of bringing the finest in traditional and contemporary choral music to metropolitan Detroit. The annual Dearborn Holiday Choral Festival will feature Bach’s Magnificat as well as
several magnificent a cappella selections including Debussy’s Trois Chansons de Charles d’Orléans and songs heralding the wintry season. The June concert will showcase Michigan composer Stuart Scott’s Season Sonnets, four movements set to seasonal poems by Longfellow, Wetherald, Woodward and Conder.
