The Boys Choir of Harlem Bringing gospel and jazz styles to Rudder toni rsday • A OP By Amber Clark The Battalion F or inner-city New York school children, community organizations offer an ini tial step toward making a change for a better life. For 25 years. The Boys Choir of Harlem has been serving to keep kids be tween the ages of eight and 18 off the streets and in a produc tive direction. Tonight at 8:00 in Rudder Au ditorium the MSC Opera and Per forming Arts Society will present the small church choir that has grown into a world-renowned per forming arts institution. Under the direction of founder Dr. Walter J. Turnball, the 450 singers have a repertoire that ranges from classical to gospel to jazz. Singers are arranged in three groups, including the con cert choir and the recently-reor ganized girls choir. The perform ing choir, consisting of 35 to 40 boys, is the select group of mem bers chosen to perform on tour. Turnball has received recogni tion for his talents aside from the creation of the Boys Choir of Harlem. He was recently named “One of the 15 Greatest Men on Earth” by McCall’s Magazine, and has been granted several honorary degrees for his work. Dianne Mueck, advertising representative for OPAS, said people are interested in the choir for its profound effect on the lives of inner-city children. In 1987, the Boys Choir of Harlem Academy was established to provide fourth- through eighth- grade students with the high standards of academic achieve ment, proper conduct and punctu ality. Within the next few years, the program expanded to include a high school and the addition of girls to the student body. Classes at the academy stress academic curriculum at a college prepara tory level. The course work is supplement ed with social services, counseling and recreation. Students who tour with the performing choir receive credit for each performance. Mueck said programs like the academy can only benefit the community. “People that might not have had a chance at life now do,” Mueck said. “And their music appeals across the board to just about everyone.” The Boys Choir of Harlem has per formed at several special events, including the rededication of the Statue of Liberty, reviou itates wei lude al t on th VASHING alcohol •?

Their works are also found on the soundtracks of Jungle Fever, Malcolm X and Glory. The choir makes 80 to 100 appearances annually, as well as television perfor mances. The choir also tours international ly, and has been on eight European and three Asian tours. But despite the heavy schedule, the Boys Choir of Harlem remains dedicated to providing musical and academic training. Andi Stevenson, chair of OPAS, said the choir performed at A&M several years ago.
