“Much of this... feels like Westwater giving us a taste of the American songbook filtered through her own experience. She’s equally adept at blues, soul, jazz, and even a little country-fried balladry...”

Dear friends,

Our next concert is scheduled for April 26th (A Duke Ellington Celebration), and it may or may not be safe by that time to hold a public gathering of this kind.

Please check back here for the latest news on this concert and our May concert (Harvard Choral Fellows) as well.
We hope to see you soon. In the meantime, please stay healthy and do what you can to help others stay well too.
