Shorewood Aeolian Choir holds pre-tour concert

Tuesday night the Shorewood Choir held their pre-tour concert before they head to New York to perform at Carnegie Hall next week.

The concert Tuesday was the same performance they will give at Carnegie Hall. Thanks to Shorewood parent, George Watt, you can hear them on this YouTube video. 

George advises, "Of course I like all of the songs, but really like #8, and especially #9."

The 50-member Shorewood Aeolian Choir, directed by choral teacher John Hendrix, will sing at Carnegie on Saturday, April 25 in the Choirs of America Nationals. They will perform in concert with other choirs from around the country, but will also be featured in a spotlight performance of their own.

Parents and students have been fund-raising all school year to help defray the costs of the trip.

Hendrix and the Aeolian Choir last performed at Carnegie in 2009. “It’s a once in a lifetime learning and performing opportunity for our students,” he said.
