Holiday themed.
Gary Ruschman debuted as NHCC Choir and Voice Instructor at the concert.
The theme of the choral concert was “Cocoa, Carols, and Crossings.”
Several varieties of music were featured. The Robert Frost poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” was set to music. Classic favorites like “My Favorite Things” with accompanying trumpet solo from David Mantini were also enjoyed. Lastly, they even threw in some relative contemporary pieces such as “Orinoco Flow” by Enya which was released 33 years ago.
