La Fortezza is a relatively new group of enthusiastic singers. Our repertoire is diverse from Early music to contemporary, often a capella.

In the Early 1990's a number of vocalists had some spare time. What else to do than rehearse and perform for local audiences and friends...

This was during a workshop and was an impromptu performance so they brought her up on stage. July 2009. Oran went to an Early morning workshop with Eric Whitacre during the Mondiale Choral Competition in Laval, Quebec. At the end of the workshop, an audience member requested that our choir sing one of Eric Whitacre's pieces. We were doing Seal Lullaby for the competition, so we just jumped right into that one with Eric conducting us!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty darn awesome! This also features Jen McMillan on piano. The piano was really close to where I was standing, so that's why it sounds super loud in this video. Sorry.  less
