The Madison Youth Choir previews selections from its upcoming trip to Aberdeen, Scotland where they’ll be performing at the Aberdeen International Youth Festival. Norman talks to artistic director Mike Ross and conductors Margaret Jenks and Randy Swiggum.

71 boys sang in WPR’s performance studio, performing such pieces as Magno Gaudens, Vivaldi’s Laudamus Te, Exultate Justi In Domino (let the righteous rejoice), Billing’s Simple Gifts, Vaughan William’s The Roadside Fire, Ken Johnson’s Johnnie Cope, Anthem from Chess, and Kenny Loggins’ House at Pooh Corner. They end with a medley of “American cowboy songs.”
