1st - 22nd Seasons, 1956-1978
* Though our archive currently lacks program leaflets from individual concerts during the tenure (1956-1978) of our founder, Ronald Arnatt, from his Executive Director Kathie Hoyer we have received a summary of the repertoire performed during that period. Much of this music was performed more than once. Anyone with more information is encouraged to contact us to update this list. Since the organization was incorporated as The St. Chamber Orchestra & Chorus, some of the works were solely instrumental. In the case of a few composers their music was featured, but individual titles are not currently known.
