The Gettysburg College Choir and Camerata, under the direction of Dr. Robert Natter, performed a concert of sacred and secular music on Monday 10 at the Second Baptist Church in Islesboro, Maine. The group also performed the next day at the Islesboro Central School.
Wendy Dow, a graduate of Islesboro Central School, is a member of the 50 student choir and the concerts were arranged by Islesboro Central School’s music director John Oldham. Oldham related how proud the community was to welcome Wendy as one of Islesboro’s own who is doing so well in college. About sixteen Islesboro families provided overnight housing for the students, and a pot-luck supper was arranged for the group on Monday night. There was an excellent turn-out for both performances and the group received rave reviews.
