HannahfultonHannah Fulton, a junior at Hanford High School, was recently awarded first place in a Choral Composition Competition sponsored by Opus 7, a Seattle based professional choral organization.  The contest was seeking to select the best high school original choral composition between three and five minutes in length.

“Hannah worked hours on this composition and received help from Hanford High teachers, her parents, and a college professor from Whitworth University,” explained Kevin Swisher, HHS instrumental music teacher.

The choral group Opus 7 will perform her original composition, Sunrise for SATB choir, in Seattle, on May 11th, in St. Mark’s Cathedral. Details can be found on the Opus 7 website, http://www.opus7.org/. Prior to the performance, she will speak to the audience about what inspired her piece.
