LOCKPORT – Canisius College Chorale to Perform in All Saints Church, Lockport
The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2015-2016 Sacred Spaces concert series with a program on Monday, March 14th at 7:30 PM in All Saints Church, 76 Church Street in Lockport, NY.
The concert will feature works by Hogan, Mendelssohn, Buxtehude, Dawson, Ticheli and others. Admission is free.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed nine years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments - namely, the sanctuaries of our area’s churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly forty houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now in its nineteenth season, The Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 100 undergraduate and graduate members, the Chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church, and community audiences throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario. In recent years, the Chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Amherst Symphony Orchestra, Camerata di Sant’Antonio, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Kenny is a ninth-grade religious education teacher at the Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart. She earned master’s degrees in both childhood education and literacy from Canisius College, which she largely credited for the award.
“I owe a debt of gratitude to Canisius College for making me into the teacher that I am,” said Kenny. “If I hadn’t been a part of the childhood education and literacy programs, I wouldn’t be able to put together such a strong curriculum for my 143 students. I wouldn’t know how to write such a strong lesson and unit plans, or engage students with my interaction in ‘real’ classroom experiences. I most definitely would not have had the tools to earn this award.”
Recipients of the World Trade Center Teaching Award are recognized for introducing 9/11 through curricula in the arts and humanities: history, language arts, visual, media and performing arts. Kenny was awarded for the ways in which she engages students in discussions about the ongoing impact of the September 11 attacks, and for her focus on the humanitarian responses to 9/11.
Kenny received her World Trade Center Teaching Award at New York City’s Tribute Center
on Wednesday, which marked the 21st anniversary of the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

Dorward is a sophomore early childhood and childhood dual major at Canisius College expected to graduate in 2016.
Volunteering to help refugees from all around the world adjust to their new lives in the United States was Dorward’s main goal at Syracuse Northside CYO.
“I will never forget the faces I saw there, especially those of the children who attended the After School Program,” Dorward says. “I always say ‘there are no kids like refugee kids’ because refugee kids are so remarkable: they have gone through so much in their lives, yet they still find the strength to carry on with a glowing smile on their faces.”
She plans to go on a similar trip with the Campus Ministry at Canisius this summer. She will be one of 11 girls going to Zmiaca, Poland, to work with children at an orphanage.
Organized by the Canisius Office of Campus Ministry, Winter Service Week provides students with opportunities to serve, work and learn in some of the poorest communities across the country. All trips are centered around the cornerstones of spirituality, solidarity, social justice and simplicity.
“We want our students to serve others but more importantly learn about and with others,” explains Sarah Signorino, associate campus minister. “This knowledge has the power to transform our students in many ways. They feel affirmed in their vocations, sometimes change majors, or even commit to a year of post-graduate service.”
Other Canisus students traveled to Erie, Pa., New York City and New Orleans for Winter Service Week.
Canisius is one of 28 Jesuit universities in the nation, and the premier private university in
Western New York.
