Two assisted living homes are the final 2025 performances for Clipper Rising Voices, a select choir of 30 grade three-five students. Directed by elementary music teacher Lacee Johnson, the choir started up this fall.
Today (Monday) the group performed Christmas songs to about 35 residents of Benedictine Living Community in St. Peter. Tomorrow, the Clipper singers will head the opposite direction on Highway 99 for a performance at Central Health Care in Le Center.
The audience today was thrilled with the performance.
“That was delightful,” said Rosemary Bjokrlund, Wellness director at Benedictine.
“That was the best thing about Christmas,” said one of the residents. “There’s nothing like children’s voices.”
