DGS Choirs - 8:00 PM Concert













Our second choral concert this evening began with the combined Holst piece from that concluded the first performance. Other fabulous encore performances were given by the Overtones, Chamber Singers, and Madrigal Singers.
The depth and breadth of the student performers in our choirs was readily apparent in the repertoire performed tonight. Our Treble Ensemble performed beautifully on James Mulholland's challenging Life Has Loveliness to Sell, and then switched gears with a sultry and soulful Cry Me a River. Utililzing a wide array of instrumental accompaniment and effective choreography, Concert Choir performed three selections that brought down the house because of the effective execution and the spirited performance. Finally, our Treble Choir displayed their musical range, singing beautifully on Rachmaninoff's Vocalise and Clausen's Psalm 100. Treble Choir followed up that stunning beauty with a rousing rendition of selections from A Chorus Line (the gold hats were amazing!) Great work tonight in both performances ladies and gentlemen - the sounds and the sights were remarkable!
