The all-girls’ Austrian choir from Sacred Heart Greenwich’s sister school, Sacre Coeur Riedenburg, will perform on Friday, May 6 at 7 p.m. in the school’s Lennie and John de Csepel Theater, 1177 King Street. The concert is open to the public without charge.
The visit of Sacre Coeur Riedenburg is made possible by Sacred Heart’s international exchange program. During spring break, Sacred Heart’s Upper School singing group, the Madrigals, travelled to Sacre Coeur Riedenburg, in Bregenz, Austria, to tour the school and perform. In the reciprocal exchange, the Austrians will visit Greenwich.
Greenwich students will welcome them and invite them to tour the school, and attend classes and activities. On May 6, there will be a joint concert of the two choirs. All are invited to what promises to be a very enjoyable concert. In addition to the Madrigals, Sacred Heart’s singing group, the A Ca-Bellas, and St. Luke’s School’s male choir, the Acafellas, will perform.
The Austrian choir consists of 39 girls from 11 to 19 years old and 30 members. All of the girls are junior or senior students at Sacred Heart Riedenburg in Bregenz. Since 1984, Hubert Herburger has conducted the choir.
