The Burlington High School Select Singers will present “The Best Night Ever,” a benefit concert to raise funds for their trip to New York City where they will perform at Carnegie Hall in the spring. The concert will take place at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, February 9 in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center of the high school located at 123 Cambridge Street, Burlington.
“The Best Night Ever” is being prepared entirely by the student themselves and will showcase them in solo and ensemble performances, with director John Middleton-Cox leading the choral pieces. It is one of several activities that the BHS Music Boosters Association are sponsoring to help the Select Singers raise the necessary funds for their trip to perform at Carnegie Hall on May 1, 2011. Ticket sales from the concert will go directly to the travel accounts for each student participating in the performance at Carnegie Hall.
Following three days of rigorous rehearsals in New York, the Select Singers will participate in the Manhattan Concert Productions Octavo Series when they take the stage at Carnegie Hall. Long known as one of the world’s most beloved concert stages, Carnegie Hall is best known for acoustics that have made it a favorite of audiences and performers alike since 1891. For the members of the Burlington High School Select Singers, it will no doubt be the most memorable musical experience of their lives.
Members of the Select Singers who will perform at “The Best Night Ever” are sopranos Amanda Harrigan, Giovanna Fernandes, Samantha Goober, Jessica Olin, Jessica Villalta and Samantha Hovasse; altos Jennifer Gregorio, Nicolette Moody, Emily Martin and Danielle Schissler; tenors Chris LaRocque, Shane Ryan, Joe Nosack, Adam Tigges and Stuart Gelin; and basses Andrew Silva, Dan Feldman, Paul Neves, Zaven Ovian and Jesse Carnes.
General admission tickets for “The Best Night Ever” are $5 for students and senior citizens and $10 for adults. Tickets can be purchased by the Select Singers members, by visiting www.BurlingtonTickets.org, or at the door. Fogelberg Performing Arts Center is handicapped accessible.
