The Voices of Vienna presents a concert of lilting music from Viennese Operetta, Broadway and opera celebrating spring Friday, April 12, at 7 p.m.

The award-winning singers return to the venue of Shepherd of the Hills (SOTH) Lutheran Church at 16150 E. El Lago Blvd. The program, “Voices of Spring,” will feature famous waltz songs of Johann Strauss, the lyrical tunes of Franz Lehar and gypsy dances of Kalman. Duets and ensembles will include music from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute.” The audience is invited to join singing songs from “The Sound of Music.”

A dessert reception, hosted by the Austrian Society of Arizona, follows the concert. The concert is free, and donations will be accepted for the high school scholarship fund at SOTH.
