2010 Children’s Honor Choir Review

May 31st, 2010 by Director

On Saturday, April 24, over 110 area third to fifth grade singers gathered to participate in the ninth annual North Central Ohio Children’s Honor Choir.  The theme for the event was “Stories in Word and Song.”  Students from ten area schools as well as the Ashland Symphonic Youth Chorus Prep Choir combined their voices on this wonderful day.  Under the direction of ASYC Artistic Director, Kathleen Matter, the Choir rehearsed and performed four selections to the delight of a full house at the Ashland University Jack & Deb Miller Chapel.  In addition, selected students performed two stories in “reader’s theatre” format, Dave Kowalka shared a story with the children, and the barbershop quartet “Bravada” entertained us with their impeccable four part harmony.  It was indeed a magnificent afternoon, and we are already looking forward to the 10th annual concert in the spring of 2011.
