Gloria Musicae Shines

It was with great disappointment I read no reviews of the first concert of Gloria Musicae, which took place Monday under the baton of new conductor and music director Joseph Holt.

What a stunner! This group of the finest singers in our area rose to new heights under his leadership. How lucky we are in this wonderful city of Sarasota to have such a musical happening and Joseph Holt is another star in Sarasota’s cultural crown.
