    Sadly, Atlanta is a lonnnngggggggggg way from Hudson, Wisconsin. Is there any chance the concert will be recorded and/or broadcast? And what about other appearances in the United States?

    We're very excited to have them here in St. Louis. We've had St. John's College and New College in the last two years, so it's been a nice spread for choirs! Always interesting to hear the characteristics of the sound of each group, as well as their use of the acoustic of the Cathedral-Basilica.
