The College has recently received the following complete, albeit unpolished, videos of the 91¿ì»îÁÖ Aquinas College Choir™s production of Gilbert and Sullivan™s Patience this past spring:

 

 

The performance, which took place on April 13 under the direction of Daniel J. Grimm (™76), marked the final event of the 2017-2018 St. Vincent de Paul Lecture and Concert Series. The concert took place before a packed audience in the newly completed St. Cecilia Hall.

Starring in the operetta were Renata Zepeda (™21) as the young milkmaid Patience, who finds herself pursued by the lovesick Reginald Bunthorne (Dominic Amorose ™19). Other principal roles include Rachel Rivera (™19) as Lady Angela, Sylvia Zepeda (™20) as Lady Ella, Rebecca Montanaro (™19) as Lady Saphir, Marya Garneau (™21) as Lady Jane, Joe Daly (™19) as Archibald Grosvenor, Seamus O™Brien (™20) as The Colonel, Edward Mohun (™20) as The Duke, Robert Richard (™20) as The Major, and Sean Goodridge (™19) as a solicitor. Members of the choir filled out the rest of the roles, including the chorus, while student musicians made up the orchestra.
