Honesdale High hosts regional chorus festival

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — This year the Wayne Highlands School District is hosting the Pennsylvania Region IV Chorus Festival on Wednesday, February 28, Thursday March 1 and Friday, March 2. The public is invited to a concert on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Honesdale High School Performing Arts Center. The songs range in genre from classical and gospel to international selections. A string quartet will accompany two of the selections, along with a singing bowl and classical guitar.

During the festival, 160 of the top vocalists representing 55 different school districts from 14 counties in the Northeast and Central Northeast corner of Pennsylvania will join together in song. The group of students first auditioned in October to participate in the district-level festival. At the District Chorus Festival, the students then re-auditioned to go on to the region level.

On the first days of the festival, the students will work with a guest conductor, Dr. Buddy James from California State University, as they polish the repertoire he has selected. Tickets cost $5 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens. They can be purchased at www.PMEAd9.booktix.com or at the door.
