The Ivan E. Rundus Foundation is
sponsoring a benefit for local Organ and Vocal Students with a movie
performance of "Once in a Lullaby:
The PS22 Chorus Story," to be presented at the Fox Theatre in
Sterling, on Sunday afternoon, April 21, 2013, at 1:30 P.M. Tickets may be purchased from Board Members
Baxter Arnold, Carol Arnold, Larry Fetzer, Jill Fritzler, Ann Leh, Jim Leh, Kim
Schlup, and Peter Youngers, for $10.00 minimum donation per ticket. Tickets may also be obtained at the offices
of Fetzer and Company, 211 Main St., Sterling, Colorado, and the Fox 5 Theatre.
The
PS 22 Chorus from Staten Island became world famous after their YouTube videos
went viral. This joyous documentary from
the producer-director Jonathan Kalafer follows the talented and diverse group
of kids, led by energetic instructor Gregg Breinberg, as they tackle creative
differences, lost voices, and homesickness, while prepping for the Concert of a
lifetime: an appearance at the 2011
Academy Awards ceremony. Throughout, the
power of music, as well as the transformative effect of an amazing teacher,
shine through.
The
Rundus Foundation has provided the community with high quality programs in
fundraising. Among our fundraising
projects were the Augustana Lutheran Church Chamber Choir, Home Tours, Ice
Cream Socials, movie premiere of The Phantom of the Opera, Art Card
fundraisers, a Horsehair pottery workshop, and a spaghetti dinner.
The
Foundation has also provided the community with high quality programs in music,
with over 25 students receiving voice lessons and many students receiving
instruction in the organ. Many exciting
and rewarding recitals have been given by these students. Several former
students have received college music scholarships. We have employed such talented teachers in
voice as Amy Gandee, Pam O'Neal, Stephanie Myre, and Annette Lambrecht. We have also employed outstanding organists,
including Elsie Fetzer and Bea Sack.
The
Foundation Board asks the people of northeastern Colorado to help support our
young, talented musicians, by attending this outstanding musical performance.
