Loyola Academy Choirs Present "What the Heart Wants"

10/22/2024

On Thursday, October 10, Loyola Academy Choirs presented their annual fall concert titled What the Heart Wants. The concert was inspired by "Until Even the Angels," a poem by American poet Dorothy Walters, and featured songs arranged by Roger Emerson, Alan Billingsley, and Mark Brymer.

"Singing is incredibly vulnerable, and life can be incredibly scary. Watching these young people find the bravery to stand up and bare their hearts to others inspires me every day. They teach me that each of us has something on our hearts that we want so desperately to say and, with the right amount of courage to say it, even the angels can wake up and take notice," wrote Choir Teacher Mr. Borrower in the show's program.

Rambler Reflections:
"If asked what about this concert felt unique, I'd say that no Loyola concert is really ever the same. I really enjoyed singing 'Keep Your Lamps' because of the energy Chamber Singers always give to this song. The concert went really well, and showed off just how talented all grade levels are in the school." — Thomas Grant '25

"I loved singing 'I See Stars.' It emulated such a positive, engaging, and united message within and between the choirs. It felt powerful and uplifting to be a part of." — Kat Labbé, '26

"The feeling of community at this concert felt really special this time. So many different backgrounds and talents, and how we’ve come together as Loyola Choir." — Colin San Roman, '25
