Leverett House Music Society. F. John Adams conducts a choral sightreading of Mozart: Requiem and Mass in C minor, in the Junior Common Room at 4 p.m. Free...
...group's repertoire is one of its most pleasant features. In the Collegium's first overseas tour last summer that took them to England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, newspaper reviews heralded the "young Americans" as a "vitally alive" and "smooth" chorus that, "gave new depth to a medieval choral art which in many ways is already dying."

Shaw soon named her assistant conductor of his Collegiate Chorale. In 1952 Hillis made her professional conducting debut leading her own chorus. Jobs followed with New York City, Santa Fe and NBC operas, and the Cleveland Orchestra...
