The highly acclaimed Netherlands Chamber Choir will present a concert at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 15 in Whitley Auditorium, located on the Elon campus. The concert is part of the Anne Ellington Powell Master Artists Series, established by Dr. James B. Powell in honor of his wife, Anne Ellington Powell.
