Ten talented student vocalists are set to take part in the 14th annual Sing it to the Heights Competition, Boston Collegeβs βAmerican Idolβ-inspired singing contest on Thursday, March 1, at 7 p.m. in Robsham Theater.
Tickets for this popular event are $10 each and all proceeds are gifted to the St. Columbkille Partnership School, a Catholic elementary school in Brighton operated by St. Columbkille Parish, the Archdiocese of Boston and Boston College. Last yearβs Sing It to the Heights raised approximately $6,200 to support the schoolβs music program.
βSing It to the Heights supports a sensational cause,β said Shelby Johnson, a graduate assistant in the Office of Student Involvement. βAn event like this epitomizes how Boston College is a campus of men and women for others.β
Performers confirmed to compete on the Robsham Theater Arts Center stage include Molly Cahill β20, Esther Chung β18, Savanah Freitas β20, Michael Lyons β21, Madeleine McCullough β20, Patrick McGrath β20, Nina Mojares β21, Daniel Paulos β19, Stavros Piperis β19 and Christopher Sundaram β21.
The student competitors will be judged by a panel of three members of ΠίΠίΣ°ΤΊβs Jesuit Community: Center for Ignatian Spirituality Pastoral Minister Donald MacMillan, S.J., Ramesh Richards, S.J., and Ignatius Idoko, S.J. After listening to their critiques, audience members will decide the final winner.
In addition to these competitors, the audience will be treated to musical performances by Sing it to the Heights 2017 winner Tonye Ikoli β20, the Boston College Acoustics a capella group, and students from St. Columbkille.
βSing it to the Heights is one of our favorite events of the year,β said St. Columbkille Head of School William Gartside. βIn addition to the funds raised, the event gives our students an opportunity to not only showcase their own musical talents, but also to see firsthand the passionate and talented ΠίΠίΣ°ΤΊ students who bring joy to the community through their performances.β
Sing It to the Heights is sponsored by the Emerging Leader Program, Robsham Theater, the Office of Governmental and Community Affairs, and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Tickets can be purchased at the Robsham box office or onlineΒ .
