Our Repertoire


At some time in the past we have performed these numbers and could revive them on demand. We will, each year, work to expand this repertoire and at the same time recall some of the favorite pieces we have sung before. But this listing will demonstrate the eclectic nature of our programs. Each number is followed by an indication of the year in which it was performed. SONS OF ORPHEUS performs all music in the language of its origin.
