A joyful noise

 

The Goochland High School Choir and the Virginia State University Concert Choir




On Saturday, February 22, the Goochland High School auditorium was filled with talented young voices for the “Uniting Communities through Music” concert to benefit the Second Union Rosenwald School Museum (secondunionrosenwaldschool.org) on Hadensville-Fife Road.

The Master of Ceremonies was Dr. Cavell Phillips.

The Goochland High School Choir, under the direction of Erinne Smitherman, and the Concert Choir of Virginia State University in Ettrick, near Petersburg, under the direction of Dr. Craig Robertson treated the audience to soul stirring and inspirational music.

Several VSU choir members were recognized for their achievements in state competitions and will move on to compete regionally.  

A silent auction of paintings donated by Petersburg artist Eugene Vango was held to raise funds for the museum. Vango is the retired head of the VSU Department of Art and Design.

Goochland’s own Calvin Hopkins, President of the Second Union Rosenwald Museum, invited all to visit the Museum, which plays an integral part in preserving and highlighting an important part of our history.
