Our Program on 4/21 was our annual visit from the Minnetonka High School Concert Choir. The choir is just back from their trip to Italy, and three members told of the experiences and the effects the trip had on them. As you recall, our club gave a donation to the choir so all of the members could make the trip.
The 47 choir members filled the room with warm sounds. As with all of the prior concerts, the program offered varied musical styles. From the starting selection, “Woven Together”, they included folk songs from Africa, spirituals, and Gregorian chants. Subgroups within the choir performed, including a 5 girl group and the 17 member Chamber Singers. And, in the 60-plus year tradition, they ended their concert with Peter Lufkin’s “Choral Benediction”.
