Wilton Public School's Virtual Choir/Orchestra Takes You Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Thank you to Wilton High School musicians for this incredible compilation of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World! You certainly took us away - where bluebirds fly - and we needed it!
This virtual choir/orchestra consists of over 50 students, teachers, and alumni from throughout the Wilton Public School District. The idea was conceived back in March at the start of the whole pandemic by Jake Arnowitz and Mr. Kevin Slater and has been taken to its fullest potential.
