Fall 2024

Oriana kicks off its 30th anniversary season! Every piece on this program is associated with a persona of some kind -- actual, fictional, historical, biblical, or metaphorical. This fall we encounter notable personae in the news every day, so we offer a choral concert populated by many notable and distinct personae.
