With the combination of a scholarly and emotional approach, the Choir hopes to provide an unforgettable experience of choral music at its best. In May 2011, the OBC has been invited to make its Carnegie Hall debut in a prestigious series, in the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, in New York City.
