N ick White of Saugus, a freshman at Boston College High School, recently returned from a concert tour in Spain with the school’s Chamber Choir and Concert Choir. As has become a tradition under Director Dr. Marina Rozenberg, the choir kicked off their adventure at Boston’s Logan Airport, entertaining other travelers in Terminal E. Once they arrived in Spain, the group performed in formal and informal concerts throughout Barcelona. They delighted tourists in the square at Park Güell, overlooking Barcelona. They sang at Església de la Sant Ramon de Penyafort to a full church; the audience included an incoming BC High student of the class of 2019. Nick and the group performed before a crowd of hundreds in the Basilica at Montserrat, where they were the first known outside group to open for the famous Montserrat Boys Choir. They continued to Manresa, where they walked in the footsteps of Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus, and offered their gifts of song in the Santa Maria Basilica, where their voices echoed to the high stainedglass ceilings. The trip concluded with a friendship concert at the Jesuit School at Casp Barcelona, singing together with their elementary and high school choirs. The combined choir comprised 28 students and faculty member Mr. Gene Holmes ’72. The group was blessed to have two additional faculty members along for the trip. Mr. Paul Logan ’68, who guided the group in spiritual reflection, providing thoughtful prayer and connections to Ignatian spirituality, and Ms. Tonya Winter, who managed the group flawlessly, keeping everyone together, on schedule, and safe. Their audiences received each of the performances of the choir’s diverse and challenging repertoire with great appreciation. Boston College High School is a Jesuit, Catholic, college-preparatory school for young men founded in 1863. The school enrolls approximately 1,600 students from more than 100 communities in eastern Massachusetts. 229 Centre St. Malden MA - 781.321.3000 270 Medford St. Malden MA - 781.333.5449 170 Everett Ave, Chelsea MA - 617.466.0031 1099 Main Street, Wakefield MA - 781.245.0200 We remember and give thanks to all of those who have served o ur great co untry.
