2016 - 2017 Concert Season

Nearly 25 years ago, a young and dynamic artistic director announced a surprising move: The four-year-old Dearborn Oratorio Society, which descended from the Dearborn Choral Arts Society and performed well-loved choral repertoire, was changing its name and its mission. Kevin Dewey envisioned a vibrant and musically supple mixed choir that could easily collaborate with area orchestras, choirs, soloists or musical ensembles, as well as bring new music to the world. See the season brochure.
