It was about time! Our friends from the Scuola Modugno have hosted our choir and ensemble tours to Puglia twice, and on Wednesday, December 11 they came all the way up from Monopoli to visit us and sing a most memorable concert. Three hundred and fifty Ambrit students were an excellent audience to the full-length concert offered by the singers who range from 8-18 years old. Under the direction of Angela Formica, the performance included clever arrangements of Italian and spiritual Christmas songs, followed by a selection of show tune hits. The students introduced the music themselves in English. Afterwards they mixed and mingled with the Ambrit students over panetone and pandoro in the atrium. In spite of the rainy weather, we had a wonderful time hosting them, and hope that their tour of Rome isn't too wet! Congratulations, Monopoli singers, and come back!
