Swing into Spring with the Castorways

Castorways is a 10-voice vocal ensemble that sings everything from Bach to Bowie. In this concert we will perform some well known jazz standards that have been beautifully arranged and some more contemporary popular songs. Many of the arrangements are for 8-part jazz choir that are just stunning.
