Our long-time friends and collaborators from The New World Chorale return to help us celebrate our 25^th Anniversary Year with a reprise of the VERY FIRST CHSO CONCERT!  As the CHSO brings its season to a triumphant conclusion, we pay tribute to the first great cultural edifice in Milford –dating back to the first decades of the Twentieth Century when the first Italian immigrants came to our region to cut granite in the quarries and built a opera house on Main Street – a venue that hosted the likes of Enrico Caruso and Ezio Pinza!   Performed in the original Italian with supertitle translations!
