Summit South 6 Cluster concert set February 27

Choirs and musicians from four parishes will participate in a concert by the Summit South 6 Cluster on Sunday, February 27, at 7 p.m. at the Nativity of the Lord Jesus Catholic Church. 2425 Myersville Road (at Killian Road)  in Springfield Township   

The date was announced by JoAnn Marcinkoski, Nativity Adult Choir director, who also directed rehearsals of the combined adult choirs last year and was responsbile for much of the program planning. No rehearsal dates have been announced.

The cluster includes Queen of Heaven, Nativity, St. Paul and St. Francis de Sales parishes.

Choirs from the four parishes joined together last year on March 22 for a Laetare Sunday concert at St. Francis de Sales Church. It was the first joint program of the Summit South 6 Cluster.

The 50-voice combined choir, directed by Cleveland Orchestra Chorus veteran Michael J. Seredick, performed the Gloria by Vivaldi.

Ann Yu, 12-year-old violinist stole the show with an impeccable violin solo of Ave Maria by Bach-Gounod which received a standing ovation. The award-winning violinist is the daughter of St. Paul Adult Choir director Jin Yu and his wife, Ping.

St. Paul’s Adult Choir, though small in numbers (nine women and two men) provided a remarkable performance of “Celebrate God’s :Love” by Don Besig and Nancy Price. The choir is directed by Jin Yu who also was concert organist along with St. Paul’s Hiedi Guttermuth.
