Alumni Mastersingers Concert

On Sunday December 14th, alumni from the award-winning Mastersingers group performed a selection of Christmas Carols as part of the "Helen Springer Raskob Green Concert Series." This was the second annual performance of an Alumni Mastersingers chorus. Approximately thirty alums ranging from Class Years 1983 through 2008 gathered to perform together. More than 100 guests comprised of fellow alums, family members and friends of Archmere attended the concert. The Alumni Mastersingers were accompanied by Headmaster, Dr. Michael Marinelli '76 (piano), and current students Conor McAvinue '17 (viola), Mary Ann Quarry (percussion) and Alexander Weir '17 (violin). The choir was directed by Mary Ellen Schauber, former faculty member (1982-1988), who created the Mastersingers group in 1985. Mr. David Ifkovits, Chair of the Music Department & Choral Director, served as a guest conductor and also performed this year. As is Archmere tradition, the Hallelujah Chorus served as the finale of the performance. Our Alumni Mastersingers received a standing ovation from our guests in attendance.
