Guitar and chorus blend nicely at St. Mary's

AUBURN - A classical music composition that combines chorus and guitar is relatively rare. When adding instruments to a choral work, most composers choose to utilize piano, organ or an entire orchestra.

The first time Madrigalia music director Roger Wilhelm heard the exquisite playing of guitarist Nathan Fischer, though, he knew he needed to find such compositions.

The end result of Wilhelm's search took place Sunday afternoon at St. Mary's Church in Auburn, as Rochester chamber chorus Madrigalia performed a concert that featured Fischer on classical guitar.
