Since the Dubuque Chorale was founded in 1971, the original plan was to celebrate last year, but it was delayed due to Covid. In addition, one piece that will be performed was co-commissioned to honor 100 years of women's suffrage. This piece was originally slated to be performed a couple years ago but that performance was also cancelled due to COVID.
