2019 Madrigal Singers Graduation Concert

The South High School Choirs Class of 2019 added significantly to their inimitable sonic legacy tonight during the Madrigal Singers Graduation Concert.  The craftsmanship and musicianship were remarkable from start to finish, from large ensemble to small groups and soloists.  Of the long list of impressive  occurrences during the evening, here is but a few:

• The evening was totally learner centered - these students were in charge of their own musical destiny.
• The repertoire was performed ARTISTICALLY.
• The repertoire performed featured student arrangements and compositions.
• The diversity of the repertoire represents the depth and breadth of the musicianship in the group.
• These students care deeply about their craft, but they care even more about each other.
• Inter-generational sonic connections occurred when the alumni choir shared the stage.
• Even though the repertoire had lyrics, the expression emitted went way beyond words.
• The memories and moments expressed as remarkable by the students were centered around group travel and highlight performances.

Everyone that remains at South High School owes a debt of gratitude to this senior class for establishing a wonderfully high performance bar, but perhaps even more, for setting that bar in a caring manner.  Well done Class of 2019 - we'll miss your presence, but, we'll be reminded of if on a daily basis in the sights and sounds emanating from the music suite that are a direct result of your collective sonic legacy!
