John and Rachel's High School Choir joined with the Homer Community Choir to perform a large number of pieces this spring. A small group had traveled to Europe and performed earlier in the spring, but upon their return home, the entire group sang together in Homer. Here is the entire concert. It was divided into the following genre: Sacred Czech Works, Sacred Latin Works, German Secular, Sacred German Works, Hebrew Folksongs, Contemporary American Classical, Americana, African-American Spiritual, Jazz/Pop.

Finally, I am including a piece John performed for solo ensemble and for which he was selected to go to the State Solo Ensemble festival in Anchorage a few weeks later.
