Music Is In the Air

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”    

-Victor Hugo
 
Music is very important in the Weston Public Schools, and most of our students participate in chorus or play a musical instrument beginning in grade three. There are concerts throughout the year, well attended by family members and enjoyed by all.  Recently a number of Weston High School students were recognized for their talent and dedication during the All-State auditions.  They competed with their peers from schools across Massachusetts for the honor of being named to the All-State Band, Orchestra or Chorus.  Director of Music Chris Memoli proudly announced that ten of our students were honored in this year’s competition and will perform at Boston Symphony Hall on Saturday, March 20.
 
Three wonderful musical events occurred in our schools during the past week: gospel music jubilee, Mozart choral concert, and the Tony award winning Broadway musical “The Wiz!”  A jazz concert will be held on Wednesday, February 10 (snow date Wed., Feb. 24).
 
On Saturday, January 30, the Weston METCO program hosted “Gospel Jubilee,”  the fourth year in a row that this musical fundraiser has been held.  This year the funds will benefit both the Weston METCO program and the American Red Cross for Haiti. The concert featured youth and adult gospel choirs from the greater Boston area as well as the Weston High School boys a cappella group, The Town Criers, and the newly formed Weston faculty and staff chorale directed by David Fuller.  
 
On Wednesday, February 3, Dr. Therese Provenzano, Weston High School Choral Director, directed three choruses and four soloists as they performed the Mozart composition, “Coronation Mass.”  The participating musical groups included:  the Weston High School choruses, the town’s Community Chorus and In Choro Novo.  An annual event for the past nine years, this concert provides Weston students the opportunity to perform a major choral work with music professionals.  Last year the combined groups performed Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana.”  The Weston Educational Enrichment Fund continues to provide generous financial support for this event.
 
This past weekend, the Middle School Drama Club, under the direction of Aidan O’Hara, presented their rendition of “The Wiz,”  a musical adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. More than 100 students participated in this wonderful production.  
 
On Wednesday, February 10, the Middle School and High School Jazz Bands, as well as the High School Jazz Choir, will perform at Town Hall at 7:00 p.m.  There will be food, live music, and dancing.  Bring the whole familyl!
