Kingwood choirs to honor veterans in two concerts
Three area Kingwood choirs will join to form a 100-plus mass ensemble to celebrate veterans and remember those lost in war at a May 7 concert at First Presbyterian Church in Kingwood at 7:30 p.m.The spacious, recently renovated nave and chancel at the First Presbyterian Church in Kingwood typically reverberates with the sounds of liturgical worship and homilies, but on May 7, the cavernous worship space will fall silent.
“During rehearsal, the music jarred memories of several choir members who are veterans,” said Dr. Todd Miller, department chair of Visual and Performing Arts at LSC-Kingwood. “Their personal testimonies are powerful reminders that the freedom we enjoy today came as a hefty price, and this concert is a time to remember and give thanks for those sacrifices.”
“It all fell into place,” he said and now he has a mixed group heading to Washington at the end of the month. They will also join with Colonel Don Schofield, the commander and conductor of The United States Air Force Band. Schofield oversees all activities of the 184-member squadron including equipping, training and deploying Airmen musicians to perform nearly 1,600 missions each year. They will perform with the mass chorus of 300-plus singers.
The group will also pay a visit to the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, the Vietnam War Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. They will also perform at the opening of the nationally televised Memorial Day Parade.
