“I am thrilled to embark on this journey with Choral Arts,” said Bucoy-Calavan in a press release. She continues, “This season represents not just a new chapter for me as the Artistic Director, but an opportunity to create on top of the strong foundation that Choral Arts has built in the past sixty years. I look forward to celebrating new beginnings and showing the enduring power of choral music. Choral music allows us to not only create art on a large stage, but also create strong familial bonds, lasting tradition, and new ways to connect. That’s why creating will be the overall theme for this milestone year – celebrating all that the organization has done and all the innovative ways we will create now and in the years to come.”
