ConcertsWinter

By Jonathan De Vries, Coordinator of the Arts

Over the course of December, the performing arts programs in all divisions treated audiences to a wide array of music against a backdrop of beautiful lights in the newly named Debbie Blake Kerrick Theatre.

The Upper School Concert highlighted the culmination of our student musicians through a capella, chamber, instrumental, and jazz music. The Lower Elementary had individual grade performances, and the Upper Elementary offered an exciting view into newly acquired instruments and talents. In a GCDS first, the Middle School bands and choirs joined forces in a combined piece filling the theatre with resounding music.

From 16th-century chorales to Duke Ellington to Ukrainian carols, musicians showcased their skills of reading and performing music, one of the best gifts the GCDS community received during the holidays.
