LISTEN:

"I've come to expect a new piece every time I go to hear the St. Olaf Choir. In a February concert this year the ensemble performed what could become a choral classic: a new work by Minnesota composer (and St. Olaf alum) Abbie Betinis called "The World Made New: Eleanor Roosevelt's Evening Prayer." The St. Olaf Choir led by Anton Armstrong presents the world premiere performance in this week's Regional Spotlight.
- Steve Staruch, Minnesota Public Radio host, on "MPR Regional Spotlight" 4/18/13
