Hymns of joy were the centerpiece of our Upper School Spring Concert on Thursday, May 23 that featured the God-given musical talents of our 6th-12th grade students as they performed in the Upper School Band, Middle School Chorale, High School Chorale, and the “Take Note” high school vocal ensemble.

Several students shined as soloists in the program. 6th grader Angelina Alexis was featured in the MS Chorale’s performance of “Hlonolofatsa” and 6th grader Sophia Johnson was the soloist in the Chorale’s performance of “What A Beautiful Name.” 10th grader Hyewon “Amy” Ki opened the High School Chorale’s performance of “Old Time Religion” and 12th grader Lola Oguntuase displayed her vocal talents as soloist during the Take Note ensemble’s performance of Christian recording artist Lauren Daigle’s song “Love Like This.”

Congratulations to Jaron Beadle, Director of Choral and Instrumental Music, for an excellent, worshipful program of songs that praised God and spotlighted the developing musical gifts of our students. Following the concert, the audience toured the Middle School/High School Spring Art Show, which featured student artwork created out of cardboard, bubble wrap, and other recycled materials. The displays included outstanding artwork entered in the Teen Arts Festival. Videos of several of the concert performances are posted on the ACS Facebook page.
