B-Flats Six-day visit to Greece

B-Flats Forge Bonds in Concert Tour of Greece

In a six-day visit to Greece completed on March 16, Belmont Hill's select chorus, the B-Flats, under the direction of Donnell L. Patterson, performed for over 1,500 people at four secondary schools in Athens and Delphi, including Athens College and the Music High School. Their polished and spirited concerts earned them warm receptions at each of the schools and led to friendly and welcoming interchange with the Greek students who heard them sing. In the words of a grateful school administrator at Delphi, "Their embracing and sharing of the universal language of music has brought us all together."

In between concerts, B-Flats members took advantage of opportunities to visit the ancient sanctuary, Temple of Apollo and museum at Delphi and to ascend the Acropolis in Athens.
