Featured Story

A season shaped by bold new arrangements and familiar voices

Season Note

Linnea opens the spring with Nordic textures, new commissions and a sold-out concert evening

This term blends luminous folk settings, close harmony and newly commissioned student work. The result is a program that feels rooted in Swedish choral tradition while making room for unexpected timbres and young composers.
