On Thursday, April 27 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., in celebration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School orchestra and choir are proud to present the world premiere high school orchestration of “Every Living Soul.” Written by our own Merrill Collins, this work will inspire the audience to embrace the fundamental protection of human rights and empower work to ensure that all people gain freedom, equality, and dignity. The orchestra will be conducted by band teacher Ms. Cekola with our Concert Choir under the direction of Ms. Vantrease. All 30 Universal Declaration of Human Rights articles will be read on this the 75th anniversary year of UDHR.
Also, during the same time frame, the SJND band, playing with video feeds, will offer the last opportunity to see and hear our graduating seniors perform the music of “Star Wars” and “The Sopranos.” Come show your support and passion for all of the band students as they perform music by Lizzo, the Mandalorian, and other pieces.
