Six singers from the Mennonite Children’s Choir of Lancaster traveled to Rochester, New York with Ms. Wingard, director of the elementary and middle school MCCL choirs, for the American Choral Directors Association Eastern division conference last week. Three of these singers come from the Lancaster Mennonite Community: Alejandro Veras (LMMS), Miranda Veras (New Danville), and Kate Metzler (Locust Grove). The singers participated in elementary and junior high auditioned honor choirs with acclaimed choral directors Henry Leck and Lynnel Joy Jenkins. Highlights of the experience included meeting lots of new friends from all over the northeastern US, working with several composers of their songs in person, and performing in a stellar final concert on Saturday afternoon!
