Philharmonia Chorale. During its first six seasons, the ensemble has earned an impressive reputation,

tour to Mexico City with performances at the Festival Internacional del Órgano Barroco. The ensemble

include Handel Theodora and Messiah, Bach St. John Passion and B minor Mass, and Monteverdi 1610 Vespers. Members of the Trio, Anne-Marie Dicce (soprano), Ruben Valenzuela (harpsichord), and Amy
Wang (violin), perform recitals together often throughout Southern California and Mexico.
