They will be performing on Friday, February 12, at 7:30 pm at the Minneaoplis Convention Center. Over 50 applications for performance were submitted to the MMEA Clinic Committee, and this was The Legacy’s first application to perform at such an event. The Chorale will be sharing the stage that evening with The Medalist Concert Band, an award winning, 70-member community group based in Bloomington, MN.

The Legacy Chorale of Greater Minnesota
through The Linda Dryden Endowment presented the first "Linda
Dryden Music Scholarship" to Emily Peterson of Aitkin at their
concert in Crosby on Nov. 12. The scholarship is set up by Bob
Dryden in loving memory of his first wife Linda who was a splendid
vocalist. Her love of music and the connection of both Linda and Bob
to Central Lakes College made this scholarship available to a CLC
student singing in one of the choirs at the college. We are pleased
to have chosen Emily Peterson as the recipient of the $500
scholarship.
