Senior Choir Makes a Splash
Across the Pond
It may have been vacation for many of us back in Geneva, but over in the United Kingdom, Senior Choir was busy last week singing their way across the countryside. Headed by fearless leaders Wendy Trowbridge, MaryAnn Hamilton, Jim Adams, and Pablu Falbru, over 30 choristers, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years old enjoyed a wonderful week and a half of singing, sightseeing, and making lasting memories.
The full-length program they performed featured works from contemporary choral composers such as Rene Claussen, Randall Stroope, Bob Chilcott and John Rutter. They also performed well-known American Spirituals such as “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Ain’ a that Good News,” finishing out the show with energy-packed selections from Broadway musicals such as "Newsies" and "My Fair Lady."
The choirs have been fundraising and working on the music for the concerts for the past four years – since their last trip to Europe. Over the course of their trip they presented full-length concert programs in Moorlinch and Botley, a service in Othery, and in an Evensong service in both Wells and Rochester Cathedrals. In addition to performing, the choir has had incredible sightseeing opportunities, such as seeing a show in the theater district of London, and visits to the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Dover and Warwick Castles, Bath, and Stonehenge.
We at the Academy hope everyone will join us in congratulating them on a trip well done!
