Honoring Ruth Knoll

The Hartford Community Chorus presents "Then Sings My Soul" on Saturday, May 4 at Holy Hill. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. A second show is scheduled for Sunday, May 5 at the Schauer Arts Center at 2:30 p.m.

Both concerts will bring back warm memories of the music selections of Ruth Knoll, the founder of the Hartford Community Chorus. The selections include "Thy Will Be Done," "Sunshine In My Soul," and "Precious Lord, Take My Hand."

Ruth spent her entire 40-year teaching career at Hartford Union High School. She ran all of the Choral activities including conducting choirs, providing voice lessons, preparing students for solo and ensemble events and serving as the music director for the high school musicals until her retirement in 1998.

Ruth served as the conductor for the Hartford Community Chorus for 55 years.

Ruth Knoll passed away peacefully on November 8, 2023.
