In an exciting new partnership\, the Colorado Children’s Chorale Tour Choir will join the quartet for the world premiere of Pitch In by James Lee III.  Based on a poem by Sylvia Dianne Beverly (“Lady Di”)\, Pitch In is a stirring musical call to action on the issues of childhood poverty and hunger.  The Pacifica Quartet is “…nothing short of phenomenal… ”  —The Telegraph \nSince 1974\, the Colorado Children’s Chorale has brought its artistry and charm to audiences throughout the world.
