The New Era - All about Sweet Home since 1929

The Sweet Home High School Reportory Singers perform "Abschied vom Walde" (Farewell to the Forest), by Felix Mendelssohn, to close out the choir program's fall concert. The choir program performed Oct. 29, the first for new choir teacher Alison Hay. She said that Mendelssohn's piece, part of "Opus 59," was intended to be sung outdoors, bringing to life the tension between the bustling world and peace of nature. The evening included performances by the Sweet Home Junior High choir and the VOX and Concert Choir.
