The Ars Nova Singers at Yuletide

Thursday night, December 17, it was my pleasure to attend another concert given by the Ars Nova Singers. The performance took place at the Bethany Lutheran Church on East Hampden just east of Colorado Boulevard. I mention the location for two reasons. The acoustics in this church are very good, and second, their next performance will be at the same church on February 13. They are also performing February 14th at St. John’s in Boulder. For those of you who have not heard the Ars Nova Singers, I urge you to go. I have written about them previously, and the more I hear them perform, I am convinced that the Ars Nova Singers is to Colorado choral groups what the Colorado Symphony Orchestra is to Colorado orchestras. Thanks to Thomas Edward Morgan and Jeffrey Kahane, both organizations are increasing their reach nationally and internationally, as well they should.
