After completing the Christmas program, the choral groups worked hard toward an equally successful spring concert in which the choristers joined forces with the instrumental music groups. The production of the musical Allegro also drew upon the talents of chorus members. Selected members of these groups formed the chorus in the show. In May, all groups performed at the Festival of Music and Art. Sacred music, spirituals, novelty numbers, and show tunes made up the varied vocal offerings. At the Lincoln Center benefit concert, the combined North-South choral groups sang a number arranged by Mr. Ormsby and Mr. Koehler. Steffi Heifer and Mary Halperin were the piano ac- companists for the choral groups during rehearsals and performances. 11 th 10th GRADF CHORUSES 15
