SLIDESHOW: Puerto Rican Chorus Performs at Framingham High

Editor’s Note: The photos and video are posting late, as the photo card was corrupted. I was able to fix it this holiday week, and could save about 2 out of every 3 photos taken that November day.

Members of the choir from Jose Emilio Lugo High School in Puerto Rico performed at Framingham High in November.

The mixed-gender choir performed both songs in English and Spanish to a combination of choral and ESL students at Framingham High.

David Rivera, a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston was able to connect the choir with Framingham.

Located in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, every student is given the opportunity to become a part of the concert choir.

Director Dennis Valdes-Brito teaches everyone two “simple songs,” but only about 3 dozen travel to the United States and Europe for concerts.

“I love to sing,” said choir member Yelitza Carolina Cavan. “Singing is my life.”
