An Elegant Vespers

THE SHOW: The San Antonio Choral Society's final concert of its 44th season.

THE CROWD: 250

FIRST TAKE: When the Choral Society performs Mozart's Vespers at Carnegie Hall next week, the group should represent the Alamo City well at least if Sunday's performance of the work was any indication. The singers brought majesty and elegance to one of the most beloved works in the choral canon. Soprano soloist Carlyn White was sublime, particularly in the Laudate Dominum.

BRAVO BRASWELL: Tenor Donald Braswell, known for his turn on television's "America's Got Talent," performed four songs to close the first half, demonstrating the range and showmanship he is heralded for. - Jennifer Roolf Laster
