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.
