Pianist Libor Dudas, soprano Barbara Kilduff, and tenor Gerald Seminatore performed seasonal songs, arias, and duets by J.S. Bach, Benjamin Britten, Georg Frederic Handel, Ralph Vaughn Williams, and other composers in the intimate environment of the historic chapel at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.
