25th Anniversary Celebrations
|
In celebration of Williamstown’s annual Holiday Walk weekend, the Clark presented two-time Grammy Award-winner Rita Coolidge in a special concert featuring a mix of her greatest hits, jazz standards, and holiday classics.
The Williams College Gospel Choir performed with Rita last November for several songs including: Circle of Light, Amazing Grace, and Silent Night.
The Williams College Gospel Choir attended the KIPP San Jose Collegiate school earlier on Tuesday morning. During their visit, the choir had the opportunity to interact with different groups of students at the school. These included the school’s version of a chamber choir and also a beginners/intermediate choir group. This space allowed for great questions from the students at the school, which tapped directly into the breadth of experiences that the 18 members of the gospel choir bring. The visit culminated with choir directors Gabe Cervantes’13 and John Borden’12 teaching a song and leading a combined choir with students from KIPP and Williams together. This was a great experience that helped members of the choir reconnect with the issues and questions they faced during their high school days.
