Holden to sing with Wartburg Choir at regional choral conference

Alexandra Holden of Fairfield will sing with the Wartburg Choir at the American Choral Directors Association Midwestern Conference on Feb. 17 at Harris Theater in Chicago.

Holden is a 2019 graduate of Fairfield High School.

The choir was selected by a two-tiered, blind audition where the screening committee does not know the identity of the choir or conductor. Each choir must submit recordings of past choral performances from the previous three years. The Wartburg Choir was one of only 20 ensembles selected from the more than 120 that applied.

"Being selected to perform at a divisional conference is a tremendous honor, especially in regard to the many amazing choral programs throughout the Midwest," said Lee Nelson, director of Wartburg College choral activities and Wartburg Choir conductor. "I credit Wartburg Choir students' dedication and unwavering work ethic from the last three years who made this performance possible for us. The students and I are both humbled and grateful to have this opportunity."
