‘Song and a slice’: Bavarian Inn Lodge hosts fundraiser for St. Lorenz School choir Carnegie Hall performance

Students, faculty, family members and friends of St. Lorenz School will be gathering at the Bavarian Inn Lodge on Wednesday, Oct. 19 as the lodge hosts a pizza and karaoke party fundraiser to help finance a January 2017 Carnegie Hall performance by the St. Lorenz Middle School Choir.

The fundraising event, to be held in the Bavarian Inn Lodge Family Fun Center and Ratskeller, runs from 3:30-7:30 p.m. There, guests can enjoy unlimited pizza and soft drinks, a round of miniature golf, video games, and of course, an afternoon and early evening of fun-filled karaoke entertainment.

The 77-member choir is headed to New York to perform in the U.S. premiere of a new work by distinguished British composer Sir Karl Jenkins, scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 15, 2017 at Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium. The work commemorates the 50th anniversary of a tragic mining accident in the Welsh village of Aberfan, which killed 116 children and 28 adults. The St. Lorenz Choir was invited to perform by the New York production company Distinguished Concerts International, which is sponsoring this premiere performance.

"This is an exceptional honor to have our middle school choir to be invited to be part of this Carnegie Hall musical event," said St. Lorenz Principal Mike Bender. "We still have a lot of fundraising yet to do, and especially appreciate the Bavarian Inn’s huge show of support for our community, our school, and our students."

Bavarian Inn Lodge President Judy Zehnder Keller added, "We’re pleased to be able to help support St Lorenz School and our local students as they prepare for this major concert event. The old question of 'how do I get to Carnegie Hall?' Takes not only a lot of practice, but, in this case, money, as well."
