John C. Birdlebough High School students offered beautiful sounds and music during the culturally-infused Spring Choral Concert.
Attendees were treated to performances by the concert chorus, chamber singers, and the Phoenix Firebirds Percussion Ensemble. Student Hannah Grabowski performed the featured vocal solo of “Poor Wand’ring One” from Pirates of Penzance.
The concert chorus sang 10 songs, including pieces from South Africa, Zambia and elsewhere around the world. The Phoenix Firebird Percussion Ensemble performed “Can-O-Saurus,” “Mr. Powers” and “Sweet Caroline.” The Phoenix Firebird Chamber Singers also had an eclectic performance of eight songs sung in various languages. The group closed with “Balleilakka,” a South Asian song which featured six soloists and the percussion ensemble.
All singers closed out the show with a performance of, “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.”
