Two from RCS to perform with Albany ProMusica

A pair of high school students will perform with Albany ProMusica and orchestra at Troy Music Hall on April 5.

Jamie Sanderson and Jason Gallagher, members of the RCS High School Chorus,  will perform Brahms’ Requiem, Faure’s Cantique de Jean Racine, and Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs during an 8 p.m. performance that evening.

Sanderson and Gallagher are two of six local high school singers who won internships for the concert and they have been rehearsing since January. 

To qualify, they submitted an extensive application form that listed all of their choral/vocal experiences throughout high school. Additionally, RCS Chorus Director William Baxter submitted evaluation of their abilities. Sanderson and Gallagher competed with students from across the region to earn the honor of performing, Baxter said.

“The performance promises to be stunning!  All three pieces are sumptuous, Romantic masterpieces, and Albany ProMusica is a world-class chorus,” he said.
