We are thrilled to announce that we will host the 2025 Pro Musica High School Choral Festival Concert at the renowned Troy Savings Bank Music Hall! This year’s musical theme is Futuros Ilimitados (Boundless Futures).

This year’s guest conductor is former Resident Conductor of the Radcliffe Choral Society and Director of the Holden Voice Program at Harvard University, Elizabeth (Liz) Eschen Cacciola. As a mezzo-soprano, Liz’s singing career spans everything from new music (Lorelei Ensemble founding member) to opera (Boston Lyric Opera’s 2016 Carmen) to musical theatre (Ensemble in the 2016 Studio Cast Album of Hunchback of Notre Dame), and she finds herself now enjoying a career in choral music and solo oratorio. Liz works with students of all ages and meets them wherever they are on their musical journey. Her students have earned entrance into top voice programs and Honors choirs across the country, and perhaps more importantly, have been inspired to make singing an integral part of their lives. Liz has chosen an exciting program of music for this festival, which includes an exciting mixture of acapella and accompanied pieces by Katerina Gimon, Rosephanye Powell, Elaine Hagenberg and more! 

The concert will feature a 24-member Honor Choir selected from the Festival Chorus and highlight Albany Pro Musica’s Chamber Singers conducted by José Daniel Flores-Caraballo.
