Thank you to everyone who was able to join us earlier this month for our 40th Annual Awards Ceremony. It was such a joy to celebrate the recipients of our 2024 Alfred Nash Patterson Grants - choral organizations across New England, including from Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts.
And what an honor to be able to recognize our 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Dr. André De Quadros. Many thanks to VOICES 21C for their inspiring performance!
During this season of gratitude, we want to express our appreciation to all of the wonderful musicians and organizations elevating choral music and creativity in New England. Learn more about Choral Arts New England and our 2024 award recipients.
