Sun April 28th, 5pm - St Paul's Episcopal Church in Carroll Gardens The Chorus returns in April with organist Nathan Taylor for a thrilling program of new secular work for choir and organ, featuring a fresh edition of Rex Isenberg's 2014 masterpiece 'Messiahs: False and True' and 3 World Premieres: from Dale Trumbore (Composer-in-Residence), Jeffrey Parola and by Artistic Director, Vince Peterson.
