"We are very pleased to present members of the St. Charles Singers on our concert series," said James L. Collins, chairman of the Norris Cultural Arts Center. "The Mozart Journey has come to an end. But this all-Mozart concert gives the community one more taste of what the Singers have presented during their 12-year series of Mozart concerts.
"And the Baker Community Center, with seating at round tables, beverage service and theatrical lighting, provides a unique 'cabaret style' setting that puts the music into a different context for audience members," Collins said.
