    The second clip is the choir from Texas Women’s University in Denton, TX, Joni Jensen, conductor.

    That’s outside the stage door entrance on W. 56th St.

    I wonder how many people outside of the classical music world saw the videos and thought this choir was invited to perform at Carnegie, as opposed to renting the space. (It’s the old joke: How do you get to CH? You pay the rental fee.)
