New York Polyphony
Acadiana Center for the Arts
Saturday, March 2
7:30 p.m.

NPR calls New York Polyphony “rich, natural sound that’s larger and more complex than the sum of its parts,” and after witnessing the magnitude of the collective quartet’s vocal power it is easy to understand why the command such praise.
