On Friday, November 11, Esperanza’s Vocal Ensemble, Bass Choir, and Vivace performed for the Anaheim Veterans Day Ceremony at the Anaheim Veterans Memorial. The combined choirs sang the National Anthem and a medley of the official songs from the five branches of the Armed Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then on Wednesday, November 16, multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, and producer Ronnie Malley worked with all of the school’s quiors over Zoom. He presented information about musical traditions and techniques from the Middle East. Ronnie also taught the students a holiday song in an Egyptian dialect of Arabic that is well-known across the diverse cultural groups of the Middle East and Northern Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Eli Stoyneva Krastev connected with two of the school’s choir classes over Zoom to teach them a traditional holiday song from Bulgaria. The Eastern European style of folk singing is very unique and distinct. Esperanza’s Winter Show, “Home for the Holidays”, is coming up on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District Performing Arts Center at El Dorado. Please join us. EHS shares that it will be a great show with a live band featuring a wide array of musical genres and cultures in celebration of the holiday season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
