Program and Notes   Sky-Born Music 10th Anniversary Commissions and World Premieres Jeffry Peterson, pianist Stefan Kartman, cello Indra Brusubardis, soprano Leslie Fitswater, mezzo-soprano Sharon A. Hansen, director It is traditional during an anniversary year that a performing ensemble commissions a piece of music in commemoration of that milestone. Milwaukee Choral Artists went a step further by inviting ten composers to write new works for the ensemble - one for each of its ten years. Founded in 1998 as a chamber ensemble comprising professional solo singers, the Milwaukee Choral Artists is one of only a handful of professional women's vocal ensembles in the country. With its signature lush sound, MCA brings a distinctive and varied repertoire of choral and vocal masterworks to audiences throughout the region.
