North Granby resident Rachel Brown '16  participated in the school musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Watkinson School this past weekend.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC  was written and originally directed by Rodgers & Hammerstein II and is a favorite among generations. The ensemble of 35 actors in grades 6-12 played multiple roles with demanding vocals.  The Family Von Trapp sings in up to six part harmonies, while the Nonnberg Abbey nuns top these demands by adding Latin language to their performance. Watkinson's production was directed by Angela Boratko of Windsor and under the musical direction of Luke Nelson of Manchester.  Members of the Creative Arts Program, Cyrus Duff '14, and Katherine Adomeit '14, both of West Hartford provided the musical score along with Nelson. 

Rachel Brown '16  of North Granby played the role of a nun from Nonneberg Abbey.  You can learn more about upcoming events at Watkinson School at www.watkinson.org
