Album Notes

Founded in 2008 to perform and share the glorious and vast repertoire of choral music for unaccompanied voices, Quire Cleveland has earned both popular and critical acclaim. Quire's singers are professional musicians, trained at some of the finest music conservatories and universities, representing collectively over 500 years of choral singing. Under the direction of artistic director, Ross W. Duffin, Quire brings to life timeless masterpieces with "an inspiring mastery of blend and intonation" (ClevelandClassical.com). "Carols for Quire from the Old & New Worlds" was recorded live in 2009, at concerts that immediately became the start of a popular annual tradition. The variety of musical styles, languages, sentiments, and harmonies will please listeners of all ages and backgrounds.
