The United Voices Concert was held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Mexican Heritage Theater, where various musical groups from the Lower, Middle, and Upper School performed different pieces of music.

The concert started with the Bucknall Choir of fourth and fifth graders performing “Ubi Caritas.” Next, the middle school choirs of Dynamics, Harmonics and Vivace sang “Bonse Aba.” Dynamics then performed “Sing to Me” alone, Vivace performed “Spring to Song” and Harmonics sang “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”

The Upper School performances started with Bel Canto singing “Escuchar al Viento” and “Walk, Children, Walk.” Camerata took the stage next for singing “We are.” Following Camerata, Cantilena sang “Ave Maria” and “Eatnemen Vuelie.” The final performances were by Downbeat, singing “Love you Long Time” and “Rock this Town.” The conclusion to the United Voices Concert was a combination of all the choirs singing “The Circle of Life.”

Kavyon Solaimanpour (10) from Camerata talked about the preparation each choir had to go through before they could appear onstage.

“It varies based on the skill level of the choirs, and the difficulties of the song,” Kavyon said. “It mostly depends on the difficulties of the song. If you have a fairly easy song, you have a month or two to get it perfect. If you have a very difficult song, sometimes it can take the entire year.”

Maya Nandakumar (12) from Cantilena shared her overall feelings for the performances and the concert.

“I think I’ve been doing United Voices for six years since its inception,” Maya said. ”So I think that this particular performance was definitely a bittersweet one since it was the last one for me as a senior, but its very nice to have a great group of women to sing with in Cantilena.”

The next concert, Spring Orchestra Concert, will be held on April 10 at the Mexican Heritage Theater again.
