Though it is simple for anyone familiar with the history of the United States to refute Zeager's opinions, it is nonetheless necessary. As the late Duke University Professor...

Over the next four weeks, shorter, but no less intense, rehearsals will be focused on refinement and interpretation. Director Mary Westbrook-Geha has challenged the Chorale by selecting four motets for the Memorial Concert...
