The concert includes an array of choral treasures by Edward Elgar, and music by Gerald Finzi, Northwest composers John David Earnest, Bern Herbolsheimer, Robert Scandrett and Opus 7’s composer-in-residence John Muehleisen; and winners of our annual Robert Scandrett Memorial Student Composer Competition.
