Chorus Goes to the Big Sing

4/12/2017

By Emily Luker, Eaglebrook music teacher

The Eaglebrook Chorus were honored to participate in an exciting choir festival called "The Big Sing." Run through the American Choral Directors Association, The Big Sing is a non-competitive adjudicated youth choral festival that was held this year at the Fay School in Southborough, MA on Saturday, April 8, 2017. The Eaglebrook Chorus was chosen by application.

Participating choirs each presented an individual performance followed by a final selection where all participants joined together to sing a combined piece. All choirs have been working on this piece individually and came together under the direction of the composer Jim Papoulis to present this final combined number to the audience. Watch that performance here.

Eaglebrook's individual performance included works entitled, "We Won't Stop Dreaming," "See You Again," and "Ho Hey" under the direction of choral director, Adam Luker and accompanist, Emily Luker.

Students gained an understanding of being part of a larger, enthusiastic community of choral musicians during the day's event. Eaglebrook represented well and the organization was particularly impressed to have an all-boys school join the event to inspire young musicians. We look forward to receiving Mr. Papoulis' adjudication comments regarding our individual performance this coming week. Congratulations to all singers involved. See photos from the day here.
