Hear the Future 2012 is our 13th annual invitational school choral festival, featuring three of our area’s top public and private-school choral ensembles.  If nothing else can restore one’s faith in humanity and the future, this show will do it.  True, Chamber Choir does a few pieces, but this day is about the kids, and [...]
