An evening of opera highlights and Broadway showstoppers at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art marks the official start of the Kalamazoo Singers' 40th season. Chorister and board member Katy Velten speaks about the role the group plays in her life. She says it brings together accomplished people from a variety of backgrounds who love to sing, and the range of the music - from European classical to American musicals and everything in between - is never boring. Velten also outlines the themes for the Kalamazoo Singers' upcoming concerts this season.
The gala will be held Friday, September 23 at 7 pm, at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. Details at the Kalamazoo Singers website.
