Trumbull High School Announces Choirs' Spring Concert

From Trumbull High School:

The Trumbull High School choirs celebrate a year of music with their annual spring concert. Join us on Wednesday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Trumbull High School auditorium, located at 72 Strobel Rd. Tickets are $5 each, available at the door.

The choirs will perform some of the selections they brought with them on their recent New Orleans tour, including "Hark I Hear the Harps Eternal," a special piano four hands piece, and "Sanctus," which will be presented by the concert choir. "Lineage" and "Hope Is the Breath of Music" will be among the pieces performed by the women’s ensemble. "Sing Your Way Home" and "Sinner Man" are selections for the men’s ensemble, and "Welsh Lullaby" and "Wade in the Water" will be performed by the freshman choir. Additional music including Eric Whitacre’s "Water Music" and the doo-wop favorite, "Since I Don’t Have You," are included in the varied program. Choir director Anne Tornillo leads the five choral groups of more than 200 singers.

Graduating seniors will be honored, and the evening will conclude with Beethoven’s "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee," an annual tradition at Trumbull High. All of the choral groups combine on stage, joined by chorus alumni from the audience for a spirited and uplifting finale.

Further information is available through the student-created website of the Friends of the Trumbull High School Choirs.
