Jesuit High School's musicians performed a spectacular Spring Music Concert on May 2, 2024 inside the Antinori Center for the Arts.
The exceptional acoustics of the Shembekar Auditorium, combined with the talented musicians and conductors and mesmerizing songs dedicated to jazz and cinema, created a most memorable evening.
A new visual element elevated the experience: after intermission, the big screen on the grand stage behind the musicians featured footage from the musical selections. It included movie clips from "Whiplash" and "La La Land," a Pixar medley from movies such as "Ratatouille," "Cars," and "Toy Story," and dramatic scenes from the 1968 Academy Award winning "Romeo & Juliet," while the Jesuit orchestra played those iconic soundtracks.
The closing number, "La La Land," brought the crowd to its feet, as Jesuit's John Phillip Sousa Band Award recipient for 2023-24, Harry Hanes '24, played the lead piano on the Steinway.
Conducted by Jesuit music director Nina Wegmann and Adrian Quesada, the evening featured a total of 20 musical selections from Jesuit's Pop Symphony, Chamber Orchestra, Drum Line, Guitar Ensemble, and Intermediate Band played 19 selections, . See all of the songs listed below.
Intermittently throughout the concert, Wegmann presented special awards to seniors in the music program. Congratulations to the recipients:
