‘Farragut Sings!’ Dec. 17 features 350+ students, 4 Town public schools-NES
“This is our second year,” said Mitchell Moore, co-director with Kirstine Buchanan at FHS. “It is a concert for our community that features choirs from Farragut Primary, Farragut Intermediate, Northshore Elementary, Farragut Middle and Farragut High schools.
“It’s free and open to the public,” Buchanan said.
“Each school will perform their own music in the concert, and then we’ll combine together for the song, ‘Night of Silence.’ And then we’ll have a community sing-along,” she added.
“We think this is important because it shows our community the excellent work of our music programs, starting from kindergarten all the way up to high school. And, it shows the kids how they can stay involved in music all their years in school.
For Farragut youth and children specifically,” it’s an opportunity for them to mentor younger students and encourage their musical growth,” Buchanan said.
“I love it, especially since it’s going to be bigger this year,” Katie Lehner, a FHS sophomore who performed last year as a freshman, said about performing again.
“I think it’s really cool to see how the music, generally, affects everyone … it makes me happy that I started singing,” he added.
