On November 17th, 2009 County Chorus had a wonderful performance. It was well organized and the students did a very nice job. This event was held at the Richland High School Fine Arts Center. The Fine Arts Center was modeled after the Pasqurilla Performing Arts Center, and is very nicely set up. The stage had nice rows of seats set up for the singers, and a platform set up for the conductor.
The entirety of the county chorus was more than 180 students. 10 students from each school district were chosen to participate. The Cambria County Chorus was on hiatus for about 15 years until this year when it was revived.
To start of the concert, 6th and 7th grade went first. They were conducted by Dr. Christopher Kiver of Penn State University. The conductor of the 8th and 9th grade chorus was Brian Winnie of Pennington, New Jersey. Both conductors started out with 1 song before giving a background about them. Also after every song they made comments and gave information on each piece that was sung.
One of the more memorable pieces, “This Little Light of Mine” sung by the male members in the 8th and 9th grade chorus. It was such a fun piece to hear and see. The chorus was on stage dancing, and the conductor made this an enjoyable evening for the audience and the performers.
