12/17/2025 – Overwhelmed with inspiration!
Dear choristers,
I simply have to share the amazing moments which I have experienced in the past two weeks. I have been moved, educated, inspired, and more in love with the choral art than ever!
I feel so incredibly privileged to be making music with you all. We have such a special organization and choral family. At this holiday time, I realize even more how making music together is a gift which keeps on giving!
I am excited to share the new music with you starting on January 20! We will be welcoming many new singers! We have cut off any new Sopranos but still will take other voice parts.
Starting with Ray’s sister’s wedding on December 6, when I finally got the chance to meet Jason Max Ferdinand and his singers, and the incredible concert last night of Seraphic Fire, a professional a cappella group from Miami to hearing the trailer of the new movie The Choral, I have had countless goosebumps. Please take a bit of time and listen to these examples. I hope you get the same spiritual and musical rush as I did!
And on top of that, make sure you check out the DCC Facebook page and read the wonderful story in “Baltimore’s Child“ magazine about our own Julie Culotta! We have so much to be proud of!
Until we meet again, here’s wishing you a blessed holiday season! Stay well, check out the learning files and listen to the new pieces you’ll be learning and return ready to sing the Sogno di Volare!
Marty
Wedding reception.
