No...not a church chior. Sometimes it is the Villages Philharmonic and sometimes other groups of musicians, mostly seniors but are sometimes joined by musicians from the high school and other featured artists who are invited to perform. I think it was originally funded by old Mr. Harold Schwartz because he was a music lover...but I am not sure of that.

Local opera singers are frequently featured too. It is mostly classical music and show tunes...or songs from back then.

It is at Church on the Square at Spanish Springs which is not predominantly used for worship, but mostly for musical presentations. I think it is a church because it completed the "Spanish Village" look that they built to be real looking.

The acoustics are lovely.
