Singers from Wartburg College Jazz Choir in Iowa, USA performed alongside students at the American Community School (ACS) in Abu Dhabi last week in the first music exchange ACS has had with a US liberal arts college. In addition to tonight’s performance, the Wartburg College Singers GAVE workshops to the students of ACS all week.

Dr Jane Andrews, director of the choir, visited Abu Dhabi last year to conduct Handel's Messiah with a number of community choirs. “It was a wonderful experience and Martha Jensen at ACS brought up the idea of my bringing my jazz choir to Abu Dhabi this year. After talking with the students, their interest in travelling here was amazing!”
