March: National Youth Choral Festival - The Singing Life - Gala Concert

We did it! The concert was amazing - stereophonic energy going back and forth from the stage to the audience. We started with Jubilate Deo by Gabrieli and Ave Verum Corpus by Byrd. Then the honor choir sang Wilbye's Sweet Honey Sucking Bees.

  1. The concert on March 29 was just splendid! The beautiful voices and disciplined professionalism of the well-dressed young people was beyond my expectations. The very first beautiful notes of the "Jubilate" gave me a lump in my throat and the last song,
    Biebl's "Ave Maria," had tears coming from my heart. Chanticleer was excellent. What a treat, and thank you all.
