We are honored and thrilled to have been chosen for this prestigious program and to record at the historic Emmanuel Episcopal Church in La Grange, a church recently named to the National Register of Historic Places.
Molly Lindberg,

Bravura will perform a short program of choral works:

Our Bravura singers were accompanied by Matthew Gemmill and conducted by Molly Lindberg. Introductions host and producer, Michael San Gabino oversaw the recording session and interviewed several Bravura singers for the program. WFMT sound engineer Mary Mazurek provided the recording expertise.
