This season you will see "six"
shows for the price of "five." As a special thank you to our
subscribers, we are offering this "bonus" concert featuring
the Heartland Singers
a group of musicians from Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. This choir was
founded in 2002 as a creative outlet for singers, based primarily in
southern Wisconsin, to perform great works of choral repertoire. Most of
the singers are professional choral directors who relish the rare
opportunity to sing together. Cory Schneider, a choral director at Fond
du Lac High School, is a member of this fabulous 32 voice choir. The
choir performs literature from the entire spectrum of choral music that
ranges from classic, contemporary, simple folk to complex masterworks.
An inspiration to hear, and a joy to watch! |

Riders in the Sky
have become the world's premier Western recording cowboy and touring
band. For thirty years they have been keepers of the flame passed on by
the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, thereby reviving
and revitalizing the genre. While remaining true to the integrity of
Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding
the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit.
Riders are exceptional not just in the sense that their music is of
superlative standards (they are the ONLY exclusively Western artists to
have won a Grammy, and Riders have won two). www.ridersinthesky.com
