Cantilena and Guys’ Gig Spring Concert

Cantilena, the upper school all-female classical vocal group, and Guys’ Gig, the all-boys vocal club, teamed up April 29 for a special concert in the Nichols Hall auditorium, directed by Susan Nace. Cantilena performed beautiful works by Japanese composer Ro Ogura, Thomas Weelkes, J.S. Bach and more. Meanwhile, Guys’ Gig brought a more modern vibe, singing “Take the ‘A’ Train” by jazz great Billy Strayhorn and “Change the World,” made famous by Eric Clapton. Several soloists and small groups were also featured at the show, including Mallika Dhaliwal, Gr. 11, singing “Ici-bas!” by Gabriel Fauré, Curran Kaushik, Gr. 12, performing Vincenzo Bellini’s “Vaga Luna Che Inargenti” and seniors Jackie Ho, Samir Datta and junior Ben Tien singing “Hey, Soul Sister” by the rock group Train.
