UPPER SCHOOL CHORUS CONCERT

The Upper School Chorus performed a wide array of songs that incorporated percussion, and soloists during their mid-May spring concert. Vocalists sang a number of songs, from “Opening Up” from “Waitress” to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” to “The Parting Glass,” which is part of Seven Hills’ Upper School choral tradition during the spring concert. Congratulations to our students, to vocal music teacher Tina Kuhlman, co-director and accompanist Esther Nam, and to technical director Trey Tatum.

The Middle School Chorus enthralled an awe-struck audience in The Schiff Center in mid-May with 12 beautiful selections that spanned languages, tugged at audience members’ heartstrings, and sparkled with joyful passion. The lively concert included the sixth graders’ performance of “May a Rainbow Run Beside You,” “Sisi ni moja” and “Hero.” The seventh and eighth graders’ songs spanned multiple genres featuring “Vive la Compagnie,” “Revolting Children” from “Matilda the Musical,” and “Blackbird.” Congratulations to our students, to vocal music teacher Tina Kuhlman, accompanist Esther Nam, and to technical director Trey Tatum.
