CHOIR TO PERFORM CARNEGIE HALL PROGRAM posted 3/27/06

The Lenawee Community Chorus and the Adrian College Choir will perform Sunday, April 9 at 3 p.m. in the Adrian College Chapel. They have returned from their “standing ovation performance” at Carnegie Hall in New York City in early March. The 140-person choir will perform its Carnegie Hall program featuring Faure’s “Requiem.”

Also featured will be the three winners of this year’s Lenawee County Vocal Arts Competition, sponsored by the Lenawee Community Chorus. The vocal arts competition is an annual event open to all students in grades 10-12 residing in Lenawee County. First, second, and third place prizes are $300, $200, and $100 respectively. All three winners will perform in the concert.

Conductor of the choruses, Tom Hodgman, is pleased to announce that because of their successful performance in New York City, the choirs have been asked to return to Carnegie Hall for an encore performance within the next five years.

Tickets for the concert are available at the door: $10 for adults, $5 for seniors, and free admission for those 18 years and under. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. The Adrian College Chapel is located off of Charles Street.
