Dartmouth Club of the Florida Keys Presents Combined Choir Concert... Dartmouth College Glee Club and KWHS Chamber Choir
The Dartmouth College Glee Club is an auditioned ensemble of serious singers who enjoy performing a wide variety of choral music spanning five centuries, from Renaissance motets to choral/orchestral masterworks to the beloved songs of Dartmouth College. In addition they perform staged operas, operettas, and musicals. They have toured both nationally and internationally to Italy and Brazil, and have performed at many important venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York City and Wolf Trap Park for the performing arts. This concert is part of their spring tour and includes stops in Sarasota and Miami.
The group is composed of undergraduate students who come from every corner of the United States and abroad, and have a variety of majors ranging from the sciences to the arts and humanities. Conductor Louis Burkot directs the Glee Club and teaches courses in vocal performance at Dartmouth College. He is also known nationally as an opera conductor, coach and Artistic Director of Opera North, a leading summer opera festival held every summer in New Hampshire.
The Key West High School Chamber Choir consists of 44 select students under the direction of Mr. James Carter, Choir Director and Lead Music Teacher in Monroe County Schools. The Mistys, VIPs and Choir will present individual works as well as joining the Dartmouth Glee Club in “Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho”, which is sure to bring down the house if not the walls.
During intermission, Dartmouth alumni will present the annual Dartmouth Alumni Book Awards to outstanding 11th grade students from Monroe County’s three high schools. This year’s recipients include: Annabelle Bricker, Coral Shores HS; Kelsey Wonderlin, Marathon HS and Jamie Kessler, Key West HS. Honorable mentions go to: Kieran Campbell KWHS, Erica Jewel KWHS and Sarah Brown CSHS. Each of these students earned extremely high grade point averages in the most rigorous college preparatory curriculum offered in Monroe County High Schools and participates in challenging school, extracurricular and community service activities. Tickets are available at MacArthur Music, and at the door. $5.00 per person, children under 12 admitted free.
