We are extremely excited to share the professional recording of Alma College Choirs and Alma Orchestra performing Dr. Justin Rito's "Social Justice Magnificat" from this past spring. Rito's setting sheds new light on a very famous text, hearing a call in Mary's words to confront inequality & concern for those on society's margins.

Our final concert this evening in St. Joseph’s Church in Glasthule was truly magical. We received a roaring standing ovation and loads of comments about how much our music moved people. The collaboration with the local Loreto Abbey Senior Choir was fantastic - they even joined us on our beloved “Loch Lomond” to end the concert! This evening was a great reminder of WHY we sing 💗🎶

We had a wonderful day in Dublin visiting Trinity College followed by a “good craic” as they say at The Merry Ploughboys Pub with traditional Irish music & dancing! We even got to perform Dúlaman for them!
