Duke Ellington's A Sacred Concert / Moving Music Festival

Duke Ellington - Selections from The Best of the Sacred Concerts

Conservatorium Maastricht presents a very special collaboration of all its departments. At the initiative of classical solo singing teacher Yvonne Schiffelers, Ellington's Sacred Concert was suggested as a chance to form a choir with students from the classical, jazz, and music in education departments.
