Day School

Wednesday’s assembly included a delightful musical presentation by the French classes, led by their instructor Madame Lorraine Duisit. The first and second grade sang numbers one through fifty in French, the third, fourth, and fifth grades sang the conjugations of two significant verbs: etre and avoir, and then prep school French students Marguerite Beattie, Taylor Hammelman, Jordan Hammelman, Allison Russo and Katherine Russo played four stringed instruments — two handmade troubadour harps and two bowed psalters, while singing along with Madame Duisit a haunting French melody, Pavanne by Thoinot Arbeau, born 1520.
