Youthful Voices to Perform Classics at Spring Concert


 
The Lenoir-Rhyne Youth Chorus, under the direction of founder and conductor Florence Jowers, will perform their annual Spring Concert at Corinth Reformed Church on Palm Sunday afternoon, April 17th, at 3:30 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be taken to help with tour expenses.

The more than 100 singers will perform favorites such as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with a jazz twist and “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” as well as many nature-themed pieces. Pianist Freda Herrell will accompany them. Repertoire is chosen from classical, folk, world music, spirituals, and contemporary pieces with texts that are worthy of memory.

Four seniors will be honored at this concert: Mary Grace Sheets from Newton-Conover High School; Katie Keyes, Emily Byrd and Mary Kathryn Kuehnert, homeschooled singers.

The tour choir from this chorus sang last summer in a concert in Carnegie Hall, New York City. The chorus has also traveled extensively in the southeast, and will perform in Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina in May of this year.

For more information or to schedule an audition, contact Jowers at 828-328-7195.
