The Voices of Liberty have performed at Epcot's American Pavilion for 25 years - and we look at what has made this group so enduring.  The Voices are holding a reunion concert with more than 90 alumni of the acapella singing group - the concert also celebrates the distinctive musical arrangements of Voices founder and former director, Derric Johnson.  The concert is at FaithWorld Center, Friday night, October 26 at 8pm.

When a violin concerto by Keith Lay was performed at Lincoln Center in 2004, the New York Times called him a composer to watch for.  Now the Orlando composer has a new work, which will premiere this weekend with the Bach Festival Chorus and Orchestra.  It's called Vision of the Earth and Keith takes listeners through the piece.  The concert is Saturday at 8 and Sunday at 3 at Knowles Chapel, on the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park. 

Keith is also a judge for the Young Composer's Challenge, sponsored by the Orlando Philharmonic.  He will participate in a composer's workshop next spring - registration is open now to young people ages 13-18.
