Past event
An unforgettable evening of collaboration, community, and extraordinary artistry
Lux is thrilled to join forces with Dr. Michael Barrett and the acclaimed TUKS Camerata from the University of Pretoria, South Africa for a special joint concert. This rare DC-area performance showcases the world-renowned conductor and his acclaimed choir during their U.S. tour, leading up to their appearance at the American Choral Directors Association National Conference. Both choirs celebrate their unique histories: Lux with highlights from our first ten years, and TUKS with vibrant South African folk song arrangements. Join us for an unforgettable evening of collaboration, community, and extraordinary artistry!
