	CELESTIA In December 2008, we introduced a 12-member chamber choir, Celestia. Celestia is an auditioned chamber choir that was formed for those members interested in exploring a more rigorous musical education and repertoire. Members of Celestia need to have the flexibility to attend rehearsals in addition to the regularly scheduled Concord Singers rehearsals.
