What
The American Chamber of Commerce, Hotel Aria and the U.S. Embassy Prague cordially invite you, your friends, colleagues, family and children to the Holton Arms School Chorus Concert on July 1st, 2010 at 7.00 pm at Hotel Aria, Trziste 9, Prague 1.
The singers of the Holton-Arms Upper School Chorus (), girls in grades nine through twelve, will present a stylistically varied repertoire including several contemporary pieces.
Founded in 1901 in Bethesda, Maryland, nineteen years before women had the right to vote, Holton-Arms is an independent school for girls in grades three through twelve. Jessie Moon Holton and Carolyn Hough Arms had a vision of the vast possibilities for women in our complex and ever-changing world. The School continues to embrace Mrs. Holton’s goal to develop the unique potential of each girl and to educate “not only the mind, but also the soul and spirit.”
