In the choir loft with Jean Bredin. BF staff. 675 voices participated this year.
According to attendees, the Choir Festival was a huge success. Charles and Marcy, from New York City, attended and told us that they felt elated after being present for the event. Others commended the variety of music including a lively gospel piece led by a jazz pianist, soprano Monica Ziegler and Mezzo Martha Bartz.
Gordon Turk commanded the Hope-Jones organ, and Jason Tramm presided over the chorus, orchestra and soloists.
The event concluded with a large caravan of automobiles moving slowly westward on Main Avenue. My goodness, where did they all park? Somehow it works out every year. —-PG
