"It came as a bit of a shock," Heartsong Choir's Geoffrey Badger said. The choir has been invited by the Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) organisation to participate in a performance of composer Ola Gjeilo's Sunrise Mass at Carnegie Hall. The grand Midtown Manhattan venue has seen countless world-famous performers grace its stage over its 124-year history - from Jascha Heifetz to Gustav Mahler and Sergei Rachmaninoff.īut come March next year, the venue's management will be able to add one more name to its list: Bega's Heartsong Choir.

In the glitzy world of entertainment, New York City's Carnegie Hall is considered by many musicians to be the 'holy grail' of performance halls.
