2006 - 2007 Concert Season: Music from America and beyond
In its 15th season, Vanguard Voices reaches out to embrace American and international choral works in two major performances, in December
and June. The 65-voice mixed choir will combine with the Dearborn Community Chorus in Conrad Susa’s arrangement of ten carols from several Spanish-speaking regions of the world. Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest will lead a
program that also will include carols familiar to Americans, but performed in their original languages. Vanguard Voices will join the Archdiocesan Chorus and the Wayne State University Symphonic Chorus in a Festival of American Choral Music at the
Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit in mid-February.
