Mr. Falkofsky and the Wildcat Choral Program show why music makes everything better with a Fine Arts Week Spectacular.
Lunchtime in the atrium is normally for homework and talk. But on April 16, nobody had the opportunity to get a chance to cram for the next quiz. The atrium, which normally draws a lot of traffic of people walking in and out of the Science Center, was stopped from period 3-6.
The Saint Ignatius Chorus put on a special concert for Saint Ignatius students, faculty, and staff. From “Jonah’s Song” to “Some Nights,” nobody left their seats until the bell rang. Mr. Jason Falkofsky, the director of the Chorus, said, “It is a wonderful opportunity for us to share our gifts with others.” He went on, “Showing our appreciation for the Fine Arts gives us a chance to get others to be captivated by music as well.”
The Chorus, Freshman Chorus, and Cat-‘o-tonics all performed their respective pieces. There are opportunities to see this groups perform throughout the year if you enjoyed them in the Atrium or if you have not seen them yet. The two big spring events are the Spring Concert on Sunday, May 19 (7 pm) and the A Cappella Concert on Thursday, May 23 (7:30 pm). Both events are at the Breen Center for the Performing Arts. After receiving a “1” rating at the OMEA District Adjudication, the Chorus has the OMEA State Adjudication on May 4.
