Dear Friends of Millennium of Music:
To say Suzi Digby is tireless understates the point; here is just an excerpt from her biography at the bottom of the page.
Suzi Digby has now turned her attention to the ORA project, which unites Renaissance choral music with music commissioned by living composers.
The program featuring her is linked as your free program this month (see below). Starting with this show we will:
First, send a copy of her new CD “Many Are the Wonders” to all our Platinum AND Gold members as a special thanks for your enormous loyalty.
Second, make sure that as a new member, a member upgrading your support, or as someone making a gift membership, we will also send the recording along.
And finally, for those thinking of joining the many other loyal fans of the show, a one-time special offer: a Six Month Trial membership (with the Ora CD sent to you!) for only $20.
We are honored (and excited!) to figuratively link hands across the waters with this extraordinary woman.
