What has been happening with the choir?
In the Spring of 2008, the Concert Choir and Chamber Choir boarded a bus to present concerts at First Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, SC, White Bluff Presbyterian Church in Savannah, GA, St. Giles Presbyterian Church in Jacksonville, FL, and James Island Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC.  In nearly 900 miles on the road we enjoyed the camaraderie of friends, the hospitality of our host churches, an afternoon of exploring in St. Augustine, and the opportunity to bring a piece of St. Andrews to churches along the east coast.  The Spring of 2009 brings a new adventure.  For the first time in many years, the Music Department will be collaborating with the Communication and Theatre Arts Department to present Kurt Weill’s The Threepenny Opera.  This tale of intrigue depicting the underbelly of Victorian London society promises to be a fun and exciting challenge.

"When we reached the church in Maryland, an elderly woman grabbed my arm and thanked me for coming all this way to sing."

 - Matt Johnson, Lexington, N.C.

"For four days, I got to hang out with the people I sing with and the make music. I wish that I could do that for the rest of my life."

- David Goodman, Houston, Texas
