Madrigals group travels to North Central

Madrigal director Weston Henry recently took the 2026 Sterling High School madrigal group on a trip to North Central College. The North Central College specially invited Henry to bring his classes, but he chose not to bring all of his choirs because they have been preparing for the fall concert for months now. Ultimately he chose to bring the madrigals because they were beginning to work on new music and would benefit the most from getting to work through music with a collegiate professor. Henry expressed how he wanted the Madrigals to see that “all choirs, collegiate and high school, are making the same progress.”
