The combined chorus is directed by Bruce Browne, Director of Choral Studies at Portland State University. We were literally turning people away last year, so I encourage everyone to buy tickets early. Browne will get plenty of help on stage from the rafter-shaking voice of soloist and local gospel diva Marilyn Keller . Accompanying the singers is jazz keyboardist and composer Darrell Grant, who is joined by his students of the PSU Jazz Studies Program.
Service charge applies.
