The Hanover High School Music Department presented an ambitious program, opening with Finlandia. The orchestra did a creditable job. The group included a few community members, but also some middle school students, so they got a taste of high school.
The next piece was an Telemann concerto for two violas, which is an unusual combination. But there were two graduating seniors who play viola, Olivia Hinch and Felix Herron. Both did a very good job, particularly Felix in the 4th movement.
The Footnotes and Chorus then did 4 vocal pieces.
The final piece was a Schubert Mass, with chorus and orchestra. This was a very beautiful piece, and there were some nice vocal solos, particularly Lily, Marie and the Agnus Dei.
At the end, Chorus Director Jennifer Chambers thanked retired Jane Woods who had covered during maternity leave. I have no doubt that she was able to step in and flawlessly fill in, even with such challenging pieces. Well done!
