Thirty-six talented students who sing in the Glen Cove High School Select Chorale will travel to London to perform in one of the world’s most prestigious concert series next spring. In collaboration with Vox Anima London, the chorale will have the honor of headlining a series of performances, including the world premiere of a major work by renowned composer and conductor Jeffrey Ames. “I am thrilled that our Glen Cove High School Vocal Music students were selected to participate in this remarkable authentic arts experience abroad,” Lawrence M. Nadel, the
school district’s coordinator of fine and performing arts, wrote in a statement. “This opportunity is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our music program students and faculty in the Fine and Performing Arts department.” Unlike other groups that will perform in the series, the Select Choral was invited to attend, meaning that it bypassed a rigorous application process.
