Our winter choir concert was a beautiful success, as Voci Pure and Catautori showcased incredible range and dedication through a diverse and moving repertoire. Voci Pure opened the evening with the delicate, refined melodies of Edward MacDowell’s To a Wild Rose, followed by the slow-moving grace of the Italian aria Caro Mio Ben. The students then shifted the mood with a hauntingly beautiful performance of Castle on a Cloud from Les Misérables, before moving the audience with the hopeful French anthem On écrit sur les murs.

The program continued with a shift toward unity as the choir performed a medley of We Are the World and Heal the World. To bring the evening to a close, Voci Pure was joined by Cantautori for the exciting, rhythmic spirit of Cielito Lindo. For our last piece, both groups collaborated on the festive winter classic, Sleigh Ride, leaving everyone with a joyful feeling. I am very proud of the artistry these students displayed, and want to thank everyone who joined us and made this concert possible.
