St. Lawrence University's Laurentian Singers - March 13 2:00 P.M.

The St. Lawrence University's Laurentian Singers will be the first musical performance Doane Stuart will host in the School’s new elegantly renovated Interfaith Chapel. Doane Stuart’s Interfaith Chapel is one of only a few in our Region, and the only one to open in our Region in the last decade. At more than 6,000 square feet it is certainly the largest. The concert is open to the public, free of charge on Saturday, March 13 at 2:00 p.m.  

Laurentian singer and Albany native, Simon Lynch, is a 2006 alumnus of Doane Stuart and will be a featured soloist in the concert. Lynch, a senior at St. Lawrence University, serves as Student Delegate to the Board of Trustees. He spent the summer of 2008 in Barcelona teaching Spanish to American and English children through a program sponsored by Oxford University. The Lynch family; Bill, Loretta, Simon ’06, Megan ’07, and Liam ’14 are valued members of the Doane Stuart Community.  

The Laurentian Singers, a select coeducational choir of 26 undergraduate singers, continues its 64-year tradition of choral excellence at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York in 2009-10. The group has won wide acclaim since its founding and in addition to their many performances on campus and in the community, the ensemble has toured extensively. In recent years, they have toured in Central Europe, southern California, Puerto Rico and New Orleans, singing for enthusiastic, packed audiences and meeting with other choirs. Their wide-ranging repertoire, drawn from musics of many styles and countries, reflects the spirit of the liberal arts experience at St. Lawrence. The Laurentian Singers includes undergraduate students who represent a wide variety of academic majors and interests.
