Acclaimed guest conductor/composer, Tom Shelton, and treble choruses from across the country come together to create an unforgettable performance filled with musical artistry and visual projections. Audiences have never seen a choral concert like this before. A performance at Carnegie Hall made even more inimitable in this one-time collaboration.
