The Chapel was filled with singing......

Today there was a choral festival held in the chapel of Union College. I was happy to be one of the adjudicators for the festival once again this year. There were High School, Middle School, and Elementary School choirs "competing" for a ranking of Distinguished, Proficient, etc... . Some of the schools that participated include choirs from McCreary County, Knox Central, Harlan County, Bell County, Williamsburg, and Somerset.

It was great having these young people on campus and to hear choirs from our region perform some very fine choral literature. We are so fortunate to have such an incredible performing space on our campus.  The resonance in Conway Boatman Chapel is superb for singing and unique to southeast Kentucky. I feel blessed to have my own choirs perform in this space year in and year out. (Don't tell anyone, but one of the reasons I was drawn to Union College was because of the chapel -- its beauty, resonance, and the very fine pipe organ it houses)

In closing, please put the upcoming Spring Concert on your calendar.  The UC Singers, Union Harmony, and the UC Regional Chorus will sing music by Vivaldi, Bach, and Purcell on Thursday, April 19th at 8:00 p.m. in Conway Boatman Chapel.  As always, the concert is free and open to the public.

Blessings........
