Repertoire

SANS sings a wide variety of music from many traditions. Our typical season repertoire will include jazz, gospel, folk, pop, classical, and songs from around the world. We love to learn songs from the places we visit, and always try to bring back a few songs from our travels to share with audiences at home.
