The Galveston Island Children’s Chorus will present its final concert of the year on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Central Christian Church, 2702 Avenue O˝. Admission is free. A highly dedicated team of local choral music directors – Roderick Blake, Lois Rivaux and Susan Vaughan – have volunteered since January to create a versatile program for the children’s chorus. Sunday’s program consists of a range of music selections sung by students in grades 3-7 from public and private schools around the island. Guest conductors include Eric Sharp, the new choral director at Galveston College, and Laura Hyatt from Trinity Episcopal School. The accompanist is Bonnye Karger. Highlights include a mother-daughter performance by Debra and Sofie Milton. Debra Milton of Dickinson is a founding member of the Galveston Island Children’s Chorus and a professional vocalist. Also on the program is a “works in progress” string ensemble directed by Norway’s Trond Saeverud, who performed earlier this month at the Galveston Island Arts Academy chamber music series. The children in the ensemble include Jeremy Chi, Vaughan Hennen and William Loeblich. Donations will be accepted at the concert to further the choir’s efforts during the 2005-06 school year.
