conjunction with the University of Georgia.
While some of their singers are hired from
outside the area, the majority of the productions
are cast with students from UGA's Hugh

Ensemble is rapidly gaining notoriety for being
one of the area's finest performing ensembles.

performed a concert of opera scenes in The
University of Georgia Performing Arts Center's

programs on WUGA's It's Friday! radio show,
and numerous recitals throughout the
community.
