This performance, planned to take place in Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall on Sunday, November 25, 2018, is of the Thomas Beecham/Eugene Goossens 1959 Re-Orchestration for Full Symphony Orchestra. Congratulations to you and your singers on this wonderful achievement and recognition! A limited number of ensembles are being selected for this special invitation. Your musicians will join with other outstanding choristers from around the world to form the Distinguished Concerts Singers International, a choir of distinction.
