Schola
Cantorum
The Fordham Prep Choir, under the direction
of Mr. Johnson, has performed outstandingly
this past year. With concerts at the
World Trade Center, the Mothers Club
Christmas Party, Rosary Hill Hospital, the
Bridgeview Nursing Home and numerous
other social events, the Choir has lightened
the hearts and souls of thousands by their
spirit and music.
Perhaps the most interesting experience
of this year's Choir was its trip to Hartford
Connecticut where it performed with girls
from North West Hartford Catholic High
School. As guests of the girls' families, the
Choir not only performed, but also were escorted
around the historical sites of the city
by their hosts. In all the choir has had seven
concerts with girls' schools this year.
In the concerts held at the Prep: the Folk
Concert, the Winter's End Concert, and the
Spring Concert, the choir specialized in
American music celebrating the bicentennial
year.
The musical happening of the year will undoubtedly
be the Festival of Nations Competition
in Washington, DC. during June. Many
outstanding choirs throughout the United
States and Canada will be competing for the
honor of the best Choir on the Continent.
