The Restoration Academy chorale will cap a busy spring on Thursday, May 11, with a concert at 6 p.m. at the Church of the Reconciler in Fairfield.

Over the past month, the chorale performed at its first national competition in St. Louis, April 6-9. The chorale sang at the prestigious St. Louis Heritage Festival and earned a trip to Carnegie Hall in New York.

The judges gave the Restoration chamber choir a score of 90 and awarded them the gold medal in their division.“I didn’t know we’d be first because we were going against some master choruses,” said Devin Jones, choir president, who is a junior at the school. “It didn’t hit me that we won until we were standing on stage at Six Flags (St. Louis) during the award ceremony. I’m just so thankful.”
