91�����

�Although 91����� Aquinas College is not a music school, we are blessed to have enough students who are wonderfully talented to have our own orchestra,� said conductor Stephen Grimm (�75) to students of the New England campus last Friday. Moments later, the 91����� Aquinas College Orchestra performed a Spring Concert as part of the St. Vincent de Paul Lecture and Concert Series. 

�We began practicing for this concert last semester,� said Irene Collins (�23). �As the concert approached, any extra time outside of my studying would be spent in Olivia Music Hall, practicing.�

Irene and the orchestra�s hard work paid off as their peers marveled at their performance of Bach�s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 and No. 5, along with a Concerto in C minor for Oboe and Violin. Marking the Easter season, the program also consisted of Haec est Regina Virginum and Exultate, Jubilate! � solos sung by sopranos from the campus� Aquinas Vocal Ensemble. 

�I felt our work slowly come into place, especially more a couple days before our concert,� shared Bernadette Mohun (�23), who sang Exultate, Jubilate!. �I think the concert turned out amazing, and I�m so glad we got to showcase the talent we have here on campus.�
