ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame Folk Choir is celebrating its 40th anniversary with the release of the new album, “They Tell Me of a Home.”
The album will be available on all digital platforms on May 28, followed by a livestreamed concert from the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at 2 p.m. on May 29.
The title, “They Tell Me of a Home,” is inspired by lyrics from the ninth track on the album, “Unclouded Day,” an American folk hymn. The Choir said they have found hope in the lyrics during the last year of loneliness, suffering, and loss. They said the album title captures their mission to “tell of” the wholeness of the Choir’s faith through music.

Without reciprocity, Wisconsin auctioneers interested in overseeing or consulting on auctions in Ohio would need to apply for a one-time auction license for a single event or, for full licensure, would need to go through the initial licensure steps.
