The Freeport High School Select Chorale, under the direction of Monique Campbell-Retzlaff, ended their fall/winter tour by performing at two incredible venues in New York City - the Skylight on Vessey featuring Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience and the Empire State Building.
The Select Chorale had the honor of being the first choir invited to perform at the Van Gogh exhibit where they graced a captive audience with a program of more than 20 pieces including holiday, patriotic, sacred, secular and spiritual music. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Kishore Kuncham and Board of Education President Maria Jordan-Awalom were in attendance among other administrators, faculty and staff, alumni, family and friends.
"Being able to perform in such majestic venues, after not performing for so long, is truly phenomenal," said Monique Campbell-Retzlaff, director. "While we have performed live a few times in the past year, these two performances were particularly impressive."
Following, the select chorale performed at the world-famous Empire State Building for tourists and officegoers of the iconic building's many businesses. The fine musicians' voices resonating in this iconic structure, which brought joy to many during the cold winter months, were met with thunderous applause.
