Diana Wiens, Conductor of the Te Deum Singers, will welcome choral music fans to the choir’s annual spring concert, “Let there be Song!” April 9th and 10th.
“It’s all about the excitement of spring and love … it’s about the assurance and the comfort of faith. Praise and the Promised Land,” this last referring to a section of spirituals.
