Upper School Musicians Shine at Autumn Choral and Orchestra Concert
The Meetinghouse resonated with extraordinary music as Upper School musicians showcased their talents during the Autumn Choral and Orchestra Concert. This highly anticipated evening brought together the Chamber Singers, Concert Choir, and Chamber Players for a moving performance that demonstrated the transformative power of music.
The repertoire included a vibrant mix of classical and contemporary pieces. The audience was captivated by the soulful harmonies of Earth Song and Light On, uplifted by the inspiring message of Make Our Garden Grow, and stirred by the intricate brilliance of the Brandenburg Concerto's three movements. Other highlights included the emotional resonance of Man in the Mirror and the jubilant spirit of Storm Is Passing Over.
These performances were a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented student musicians, guided by the inspiring leadership of Dr. Brian Levels, Upper and Middle School Music Teacher, and Emma Weiss, Choral Director for Grades 5-12. Together, they brought to life an evening that celebrated both individual artistry and collective harmony, reminding us of the profound connections that music fosters within our community.
Congratulations to all who made this night of artistry and joy so memorable!
