Director prepares group for World Choir Games

The school year might be waning, but Horanski’s students were gearing up for a summer of hard-fought competition at the World Choir Games, the toughest challenge they have faced.

The choral competition promises to host as many as 15,000 singers from about 360 groups from 60 countries.  “We had to send an audition recording for their review. Music had to be approved by an artistic committee in December,” Horanski said.  Although entering the competition has meant more work for students and their director, he said the payoff is clear.
