Lyyra, the brand new all-female vocal ensemble created by the Voces8 Foundation, will sing a varied program featuring arranged works for their distinct voices. I’ll have the pleasure of accompanying a few of the works on our Overture Concert Organ, and look forward to sharing this spectacular new ensemble with our Madison audience. – Greg Zelek
