The fifty-strong members of the LVC Concert Choir performed at the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Professional Conference on April 8. They were one of a select few choirs selected, by blind audition, to represent the best of the best across the state. Directed by Dr. Kyle Zeuch, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities, the Concert Choir performed a challenging 30-minute show, “Alive and Well,” with poise, grace, professionalism, and emotion. They received a standing ovation from the packed room of music educators.
