Quire Cleveland 8th Annual Carols for Quire from the Old and New Worlds, Cleveland

Founded only in 2008, Quire Cleveland may seem relatively young, but its 25 members share more than 500 years of choral experience between them. That half-millennium of skill rises to the baton of artistic director Ross W. Duffin, a third-generation choral conductor recognized for his scholarly work on both sides of the Atlantic. Together, they reinvigorate choral music both modern and ancient, spanning nine centuries and prompting Cleveland Classical's Daniel Hathaway to exclaim, "Pope Julian and Palestrina would have been lucky to have so fine a choir as this."
