Maria Guinand joins us from Caracas, Venezuela where she is the Artistic Director of Schola Cantorum of Venezuela and conducts choral projects throughout Latin America, Europe, the United States, and Asia.

AVE made its debut on November 30th of that year at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Miami, Florida.
