More info on the Seraphim Singers April Concerts

I wish I’d received this information before I sent out my email blast and did my prior post.  But, I didn’t .  I got it today.  So I’m posting it now so you can all see the details I didn’t have before.  Enjoy.  And please come, this will be a really good concert.
