Dear Cerulean fans and donors,

Cerulean's "maiden voyage" during this year's The Ascending Voice Conference was a huge success.  This very fine group of professional singers, conductors, and composers gave a stunning concert to a capacity crowd in Smothers Theater.  The evening was truly remarkable and left an indelible mark on those who attended the conference.  Dr. Lincoln Hanks and I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your support of this project. We have included a piece of the music from the concert in the link below, which will give you some indication of the talent and quality of this group. We look forward to Cerulean's next project and hope that you will consider joining us in our future musical endeavors.

Dear Cerulean Supporters,

I am pleased to give you an exciting update on Cerulean: Voices Extraordinary. Thanks to your generous support, we have assembled an outstanding group of professional singers, conductors, and composers who will come to Pepperdine in just two weeks to rehearse and perform a stunning program of sacred a cappella choral literature that spans many centuries and many continents. These fine singers from across the United States will lend their exceptional time and talents to the honored tradition of group singing. I encourage you to click on the link below and get to know these fine professionals.  Lincoln Hanks and I are deeply grateful for your support of the Cerulean crowdfunding campaign. We could not have done this without you.
