Robert Swingler, choir director at Hazelwood East High School, called the program a great opportunity for the students in an HSD statement.
“A Trio of Dreamers” refers to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights leader; Langston Hughes, author and poet, and Rollo Dilworth, composer and conductor," he said.
The program included choral pieces from arrangements of an African welcome song, “Sorida,” a Hebrew love song, “Erev Shel Shoshanim” and three selections based on Langston Hughes’ poems, “Dreams,” “Dream Keeper” and “I Dream a World.”
