What would you want potential new singers or audience members to know about our community?

We are a friendly and generous bunch, and all are welcomed. Dominick has done an incredible job of fostering this community by setting a tone of respect and sensitivity, as well as artistry and excellence. I actually think that by calling out the illusion of musical perfection, he has inspired us to ever greater heights of artistry.

And no one could characterize the evolution of our musicality better than Maestro Fabio Luisi, when he told us during rehearsals for Carmina Burana that we were like a Maserati that could go from 0 to 60 in 10 seconds!
