We are excited to announce our first-ever ILHS Choir Cabaret Night! Tomorrow, October 22 at 6:30 PM in the Auditorium, we will be showcasing the incredible talent within our choir program in a fun and informal concert-style event. I anticipate the event lasting about 2 hours with an intermission in the middle.
Cabaret Night will feature a variety of student solos, duets, and small-group performances from students across all levels of ILHS Choir. We will also have a few full-group numbers throughout the evening. This is an opportunity for our students to step into the spotlight and share some of the music they have been working on in class and on their own.
Tickets are $5 on GoFan or cash at the door
