The Sherman Theatre* in Stroudsburg, PA continued its celebration of the season with a return performance by the popular Vienna Boys Choir on Thursday December 18th who presented a variety of pieces to delight the heart of everyone who attended the event. The selection of music included classical choral pieces, Austrian folk melodies, Broadway tunes, and US Folk songs.
The entirety of the program made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. This was especially true when one detected a slight Austrian accent from the young boys while they were singing the English selections. It brought a charm to the pieces transcending the intent of their composers.
The sizable audience filled The Sherman Theatre* with their appreciation and holiday spirits bringing an aura of good will to the venue. However, it was difficult to ascertain whether it was the audience who were responsible for the wonderful feeling felt throughout The Sherman Theatre* that evening or was it The Sherman Theatre* and the presence of The Vienna Choir Boys who initiated the seasonal sensations. Regardless, it was a wonderful night which will continue to touch the heart of all who were a part of it.
As mentioned, there were a great number of people attending the program and many were Our Good Friends in The Forwardian Arts Society. It’s fortunate of us to have so many friends in our fellowship to be unable to name some without the concern of neglecting some in the doing. This is the case here. So, I would like to invite those of you who have been there to share your thoughts and reflections on your experiences. I’m sure many would like to learn and be inspired by your words.
