Krug. The evening will conclude with two familiar pieces: "You Raise Me Up," a popular song recorded both by Josh Groban and the men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.The bell choir, a volunteer ensemble like the Choir and Orchestra, was established in 2005.
