Dale Warland Singers' 30th Anniversary Concert
April 27, 2003

audio Listen to the complete show | How to listen

Thirty years ago, a young college music professor took on the task of creating a choir that would match the voices he heard blended in his head. Those voices were a part of a musical ideal and vision that has entertained and absorbed the attention of audiences in Minnesota and around the world since that time. The Dale Warland Singers and their founder, Dale Warland, celebrated that 30th anniversary milestone with a concert at the Ted Mann Concert Hall on Sunday April 27th, 2003, broadcast live by Minnesota Public Radio. Here's a chance to hear this ensemble again, or maybe for the first time.
