Concert Orchestra with Concert Choir Concert

March 5, 2016 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm –

The choir and orchestra, directed by Dr. Ryan Olsen, combine to perform “Anne Frank: A Living Voice” by Linda Tutas Haugen.

Using Frank’s own words, the piece goes through a range of emotions from fear, confusion, heartbreak, hope, and even the optimism and joy of a young adolescent.
