As part of the Verdi Chorus’ 39th season, the Fox Singers will present a concert entitled “A Serenade To Music” at Santa Monica’s First Presbyterian Church on February 25 at 7:30 p.m.

Selections by Debussy, Fauré, Copland, and sequences from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” Puccini’s “Tosca,” and “La Rondine” feature in this evening of classical vocal music. The program also contains Vaughn Williams’ “Serenade To Music,” a 16-singer work set to Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice.”

The Fox Singers, under Founding Artistic Director Anne Marie Ketchum, are the Verdi Chorus’ professional chorus comprising fourteen talented young artists who serve as section leaders and rehearsal coaches for the Verdi Chorus, as well as perform independently.

“It’s so exciting to be presenting the Fox singers in their return to live performance after their highly successful online concerts over the past two years. The Fox Singers are a very special group of exceptionally talented young professional singers. As the Founding Artistic Director of the Verdi Chorus, it is so important to me to not only nurture and foster the love of opera for both the community and the Verdi Chorus as a whole, but to also curate the next generation of operatic professionals. This time, we are celebrating classical vocal music through art songs and arias, some familiar and some not, but all thought-provoking, beautiful melodies,” Ketchum said in a press statement.

The Fox Singers are comprised of sopranos Tiffany Ho, Christina Kushnik, Megan McDonald, and Dina Murphy; mezzo-sopranos Alexandra Bass, Amelia DeCoster, Rachel Labovitch, and Ariana Stultz; tenors César Ballardo, Elias Berezin, and Joseph Gárate; baritone Jamie Sanderson; and basses David Peterson and Esteban Rivas.
