Nearly 700 Pennsbury Singers To Take Center Stage

Nearly 700 Pennsbury singers are set to perform in the Big Sing IV this Wednesday. 

All seven of PHS choirs, including Pennsbury Middle School Honor Choir, will be featured in the concert event. 

The Pennsbury High School Choral Music Department presents the event, now in its fourth year. Singers will perform with their respective choirs and then, collectively at the close of the performance. 

For the finale, the choirs will sing He Watching Over Israel from Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah, and All Shall Be Amen and Alleluia by British composer James Whitbourn. This piece was commissioned by the Pennsbury Community Chorus and the PHS Choral Department for the first Big Sing concert in 2009, according to PHS Director of Choral Activities James D. Moyer.

"This is always a fantastic night of choral music and a chance to celebrate all of our choirs together in one concert. I hope that you will join us," Moyer said.

Choir officials are asking the public for a $5 donation per adult at the door to help cover expenses. Students and children are free. Big Sing IV takes place in the Princeton University Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
