From a Nebraska town of just over 1,100 residents, the 17-member select choir Deja Blue from Arapahoe won the MMC with a moving, technically strong choral performance that resonated far beyond their small community. Their $25,000 grant funded the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall alongside the New England Symphonic Ensemble, singing Steve Dobrogosz’s Mass in the historic Stern Auditorium.
