The deep dive into this celebrated repertoire includes time-honored favorites such as the The Liebeslieder Walzer (Lovesong Walzes) of Johannes Brahms, presented in its original version for choir and four-hand piano, with Director Eric Milnes and Cathedral Organist Peter Berton at the piano, conducted by Assistant Director Cole Marino.
