We are a collective group of opera singers who run our own program in the effort of performing twice a year. We seek to provide the general listening audience of Columbia University and the vicinity with two evenings of opera scenes. These scenes will be performed in a space having a well tuned piano and decadent atmosphere. Our performances will add to the music division what it is lacking: an established campus group of classically trained singers.
