OLSH Fine Arts Department Hosts Annual Holiday Event Showcasing Local Talent

The Fine Arts department at OLSH held their annual Christmas Concert and Art Show recently. The event, before the Christmas break, included performances from the Concert & Chapel Choir, theatre students, and solo musicians. Music teacher Mr. Tomasello, theatre director Ms. Manuel, and Chapel Choir facilitator Mrs. Sellman directed these performances.

The event also displayed student artwork, guided by art teacher Mrs. Avery. The art show, open for visitors at arrival and during the intermission, exhibited pieces from Studio Art 1, Ceramics 1, 2, & 3, and AP Art. The ceramic pieces displayed a variety of colors and shapes, including hands sculpted to spell “OLSH” in sign language.

The Studio 1 Art pieces included watercolor, line design, and sketching projects from the semester. The AP Art pieces showed a range of concentrations and genres. The show also displayed pieces from OLSH alumni Grace Avery ’22 and Delaney Woynar ’22, who are studying different art concentrations in college.

The Concert and Chapel Choirs performed songs such as “We Need a Little Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “Lord, I Need You,” and other classics. Alumnus Matt McDevitt ’23 returned to the OLSH stage to perform “Something About December” with his sister Rachel ’25 and Bridget Fogle.

After an intermission, the cast of A Pirate Christmas performed selections from this year’s play. The evening ended with the theater cast and the two choirs performing a final holiday song. The event was a celebration of artistic talent and a festive way to start the holiday season.
