Audience members will be granted a chance to hear twelve of the best singers on campus—whom you may have seen scrambling off to sing in Memorial Church early on weekday mornings—with a group of the best singers in the world. Sean Gallagher, assistant professor of music, will deliver a pre-concert lecture at 7 p.m., for the musicologically-inclined. Tickets are $20-$40; students receive a $10 discount. Friday, March...

When the issues were resolved, though, the concerts were a musical and financial success...
