The following week, they’ll hold their annual fundraising Golf outing with a dinner concert. Registration for that event closes on May 7th.

“A Latin American Celebration”: Soloists and Cultural Instruments
Saturday, May 13, 2023, 7:30 pm at Whitcomb Middle School in Marlborough
“This choral tribute to the music of our Latin American neighbors will feature Columbian tenor David Rivera Bozon, Andean woodwind specialist and flutist Gonzalo Cortes, and Alturas Duo, who are specialists in South American music, performing guitar, charango and percussion. They will join the Assabet Valley Mastersingers in performing the popular Misa Criolla by Argentinian composer Ariel Ramírez. The program will also include shorter choral arrangements of folk music from Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela. Composers Carlos Guastavino and Heitor Villa-Lobos will be represented as well as folk songs such as ‘Alma Llanera,’ and ‘Morena Faceira.'”
