    Is paradise in our past eternally lost? Or is it a utopian future to which we aspire? Is paradise a place? Or is it an internal state of the spirit, a way of seeing? With our May 17th concert, titled In Paradisum, we present a simple answer to all of these questions: yes.The yearning for paradise has inspired great music! The Springfield Choral Society will present seven such works, each painting a unique portrait of the paradisiacal.
