Aurora Chamber Singers invites you to our spring concert on May 3, 2025.
Our program features four hundred years of music – from the beginning of the Baroque era to the present. From ancient Psalms to texts ranging from Renaissance times to the present, we give voice to longing for quiet, inspiration, fulfillment, and joy. Our songs share concern for justice, praise and celebration, care for our world, and hope for peace.
Join us at 7:30 p.m. that evening at the College Street Congregational Church in downtown Burlington.
