AHS winter concert: Joy to the world

Ann Kelleher of Charlestown submitted this letter to the editor, forwarded by Christa Kelleher of Arlington:

This past Dec, 17 I attended the Arlington High School winter concert and was treated to an evening of incredible singers and instrumentalists. What talented musicians and ensembles, which included a pianist as well as a solo harpist! Their teacher and conductors are to be commended for their commitment, dedication and total immersion in their students’ performance, which was outstanding.

It was impressive to listen and watch the students performing with enthusiasm before a grateful audience. I say grateful, because at a time when there is so much strife in our world, the students gave us pause to absorb their sense of joy in their performance and showcase their incredible talents.

Thank you so much for wonderful evening which I call a much-needed “breath of fresh air.”

Thank you, Arlington High School for this opportunity to witness all the good in your students, faculty and inviting the community to be a part of this event.
