On the 21st of March, the Oakmont concert and select choirs had the opportunity to do an in-school workshop where they worked on operatic pieces with different vocalists from the Dee Opera company. Later that night, both the Oakmont choirs and the opera vocalists performed a group concert at the New Dawns Art Center. The Oakmont concert and select choirs performed their regular concert sets followed by the opera vocalists arias. After all of the individual performances, all the ensembles gathered together and sang two opera pieces. This was an amazing opportunity for all Oakmont choir students and a great showing of where singing can take you. Special thanks to Stephanie Beatrice, an Oakmont graduate and founder of Dee Opera Company, for making this happen and helping the choirs along the way.
