The Hinsdale Community House is typically a place for yoga, talks, recreation programs, and much more. Last night the place came alive with a variety of jazz and choral singing. All of this was compliments of the Hinsdale Central High School Music Department.
Special thanks to Matt Kurinsky, Matt Goeke, and Jen Berkamper for putting on such a wonderful concert to benefit Schools Count. All of the proceeds of the evening, whether through admissions or monetary donations, will go towards purchasing music instruments for the students at Pilsen Elementary in Chicago.
The place was packed!!! And why not! The music was truly special. Among the ensembles were the D Majors and the Minors, High Voltage, the Jazz Band, the HC Chamber Choir, Group B and the HC Jazz Ensemble. Special appearances were made by Hinsdale Central's very own Deborah Powell and Aaron Koppel.
The Jazz Band played a wonderful rendition of 'Take the "A" Train' while the Chamber Choir had a splendid and spunky version of 'Route 66.' Everyone loved the Jazz Ensemble's 'Love is Here to Stay' and Deborah brought the crowd to their feet with her striking Sinatra rendition of 'That's Life.' Simply powerful and amazing...just like the entire concert!
Thanks to one and all for making this such a special occasion.
