Normandy, France

July 4, 2019 marked the final performances celebrating the 75th anniversary of US and Allied forces coordinated attack on the beaches of Normandy. We were honored to perform the finale concert.

Each concert begins with the US national anthem, “Taps,” and the placement of a memorial wreath at the base of the Statue to the Youth which you see in the midst of the choir. Cameron Gattenby, ‘20 performed “Taps,” Meghan Reeb Green, ‘19 and Eric Reeb, ‘19, ‘23 laid the wreath.

In these videos you will hear our national anthem as well as “Listen to the Lambs” by R. Nathaniel Dett, “My Shepherd Shall Supply My Need” arranged by Virgil Thomson, “Musica animam tangens” by Joshua Shank.
