2026 Spring Music Concert

The Jesuit High School music program concluded a sensational year Thursday (April 29) with the Spring Music Concert inside the Shembekar Auditorium!

From the start – the Choir opened the show with the Star-Spangled Banner along with God Bless America and America the Beautiful – to a rousing finish featuring Diego Contreras '26 igniting Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" with his amazing electric guitar, and Austin Blewitt '26 on vocals leading "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, it was a night to remember.

Congratulations to all of the exceptional musicians, under the direction of teachers Nina Wegmann, Adrian Quesada, and Dr. Alfonzo Kimbrough, for the outstanding Spring Music Concert and a phenomenal school year of performances!

Among those who were presented with year-end awards at the concert were:

William Wright '26 - Outstanding Musician of the Year
Ronan Krummrich '26 - Orchestra Director Award
Diego Contreras '26 - Guitar Ensemble Director Award
Austin Blewitt '26 - Golden Voice Music Award
