Eric Whitacre kindly sent this message to the Choir ahead of the performance on 6 December 2025:

I am humbled and honored to see that my work, “Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine”, will sit alongside the music of composers that I revere - Leonard Bernstein, David Del Tredici and Morten Lauridsen - in your concert this weekend. Singing together is an extraordinary experience, and I hope that you have a truly wonderful evening after all the hard work that you must have done to prepare for this weekend. Good luck, enjoy. Woo hoo! Eric
