Hibbard said the ensemble considers itself the “choir in residence” at Sheldon. “Our Chamber Singers’ motto is ‘every person, every voice making a difference.’ We feel this way about Sheldon. The Great Hall makes a difference to our music-making – a transforming difference in our music, not just our sound – and the collaboration keeps growing and deepening with every concert and event.”
