The Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Boy Choir, currently appearing in “Captain America: Civil War,” will present a concert at Highlands’ Episcopal Church of the Incarnation at 5:00 P.M. Sunday, May 22. This concert, which is free and open to the public, will precede the choir’s international tour of British Columbia the following week. The 40 boys and 40 men who comprise this choir are heard throughout the world. It’s now in its 60th season under the direction of Founder/Maestro Fletcher Wolfe.
Wolfe was a guest at the movie’s premiere at Los Angeles’ famous Dolby Theatre on April 12. Highlands’ aspiring young actress Megan Lewicki was invited by Wolfe to attend the premiere as his guest and met some of Hollywood’s leaders. Several of The choir’s alumni, now a part of the Hollywood scene, were excited to welcome their maestro. Two of the alumni were Dwayne Shattuck, producer of “Mad Men,” and actor Christopher Neiman.
“Captain America: Civil War” was mostly filmed in Atlanta and will have its first showing at The Fabulous Fox Theatre on May 1.
The choir, which visits Highlands each year, will be accompanied by an instrumental ensemble which includes Dr. Robert Henry, organist and music director at Incarnation. Dr. Henry, longtime accompanist for the choir, was brought to Highlands many years ago as artist-in-residence by Maestro Wolfe when he directed the music at Incarnation.
Since many of the boys in the choir come from disadvantaged homes, those interested in supporting them can get a reserved seat for this concert by calling (404) 378-0064 or by emailing [email protected].
