Dear Dr. Aldarelli,

I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out to share an exciting upcoming event that I believe will greatly benefit our students and the Edison High School community.

On November 23rd at 4:00 PM, we will be hosting the world-renowned Westminster Choir for a joint concert with our Edison High A Cappella and Chamber Ensembles. The Westminster Choir, often referred to as "the gold standard for academic choirs in America" by the American Record Guide, has been a beacon of choral excellence since 1920. Their performances and recordings are acclaimed internationally, and this collaboration is a unique opportunity for our students to work alongside one of the best choirs in the world.

This concert will be free and open to the public, and after the performance, both choirs will have dinner together, followed by a Q&A session where our students will have the chance to engage with Westminster’s students and their conductor, Donald Nally.

Mr. Nally is an extraordinary musician—a three-time Grammy Award winner and eight-time nominee. He also directs The Crossing, a Grammy-winning professional chamber choir renowned for their innovative approach to contemporary choral music. Having Mr. Nally and the Westminster Choir present is a tremendous honor, comparable to an NFL coach and team working directly with our football team. The growth and inspiration this will provide for our students cannot be overstated.

I wanted to make you aware of this significant event and extend a personal invitation for you to join us if your schedule allows. I believe it will be an enriching and memorable experience for our students and community.

Thank you for your time and ongoing support of our students and the arts at Edison High.

Best regards,
