SPRING CONCERT

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

The Spring Choral Concert is a celebration of a year of music making and will feature Wellesley High School's acclaimed choral ensembles: Rice Street Singers, Keynote Singers, Brooks Brothers, Song Sisters, and Concert Choir.  The singers will present a variety of repertoire ranging from traditional choral literature to popular and jazz standards.

The Keynote Singers, fresh off their performance at Symphony Hall and a gold-medal win at MICCA, will perform three selections including an original composition written by WHS Choral Accompanist, Chad Weirick.  This piece, Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel/Dies Irae, received rave reviews from adjudicators and choral directors at the state MICCA festival.

The Rice Street Singers, after performing as a model jazz choir for the MMEA All-State Conference, will perform three selections including He Beeped When He Should Have Bopped, At Last, and the Manhattan Transfer standard Four Brothers.  Later this week the Rice Street Singers will bring these pieces on the road to the state MAJE Jazz Festival at WPI.

Concert Choir, after receiving a silver medal at the MICCA Choral Festival, will perform three pieces including African Sanctus, Omnia Sol by Z. Randall Stroope, and Ka Hia Manu by Stephen Hatfield.

Brooks Brothers will sing a set of music just recently performed on the joint "Boys to Men" concert with the Boston Saengerfest and Harvard Glee Club.  Selections will include Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight!, and Drinking Song from 'In Windsor Forest' by Vaughan Williams.

Song Sisters will perform three pieces including Mama Who Bore Me from 'Spring Awakening,' Mornings Innocent by Gwyneth Walker, and the Lee Ann Womack smash hit I Hope You Dance.
