Sunday Evening, May 22 was the 29th annual Spring Concert at St. Mary's Church. This years concert was an ecumenical event with the Senior Choir from Zion Lutheran Church joining the St. Mary's Choir performing Randall Thompson's "Alleluia" and John Rutter's "Gloria." About 225 people attended the event.
The soloists for the Rutter were Glenda Lindquist, Soprano; Karen Mears, Soprano; and Judy Mears, Alto. Instrumentalists for the Rutter were:
Trumpets: Jeff Lindquist, Jim Benshoff, Adam Ladd, Matt Kennedy
Trombones: Adam Reardon, Amanda Reardon, Jordan Haerr
Tuba: Rory Agsten
Percussion: Mike Schmenk, Chris Stratton
Organ: Ronald A. Borchardt
The concert was dedicated to the memory of Joyce Ann Bouy (January 4, 1933 - February 7, 2011) for her over 34 years of active participation in the St. Mary's Music Program.
A portion of the program included a tribute to Richard Proulx (April 3, 1937 - February 18, 2010). Proulx was a nationally renowned church musician, arranger, composer, and consultant.
St. Mary's Church is in a co-op conducting program with Terra State College's music department. The conducting students spend September - February studying with their conducting professor, Mike Schirtz. Then beginning in March they conduct a few pieces with the St. Mary's Parish Choir under the tutelage of Professor Schirtz. This year's student from Terra is Timothy Claubaugh, Jr.
