Local Student Singers Shine on Stage with Kristin Chenoweth | We're still smiling from Kristin Chenoweth's spectacular performance last Sunday evening celebrating her latest album, The Art of Elegance. Joined by musical director/pianist and Worcester native Michael Orland, the Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress and singer performed classics from her album, as well as Broadway favorites, in a delightful evening of witty patter and song.
For the finale, Chenoweth invited 12 students from the Boston City Singers and Boston Conservatory at Berklee to join her in singing powerful renditions of "Upon This Rock" and "I Was Here." For these aspiring singers, this was an especially thrilling opportunity to work with an industry idol in Boston's most storied concert hall.
