Minnetonka High School Choir
Posted by Tad Shaw
On December 16th the Minnetonka High School Choir under the direction of Paula Holmberg presented a program of seasonal music for our club. The 55 singers represented their school very well.
Their program started with an African Noel from the Kituba tribe, followed by the Gloria from Haydn's Sicilian Mass. A suite of 5 recently composed Hebrew love songs followed.
A male quartet sang the next two selections, one from The Nutcracker Suite, and the other an Allelulia. The 20 member Chamber Choir gave us two familiar standards, Winter Wonderland and Carol of the Bells.
The full choir returned to sign Ave Maria, a version for two choirs written by Franz Biebl, a Bruce Sled number entitled Jingle-Ga-Lye-Ya, and they closed the concert with the traditional choral benediction.
Paula mentioned that the choir will be visiting Europe and has been scheduled to sing at St Peter's in Rome.
Wow!! We all left with a smile on our faces. What a holiday treat!
