The Richard Nickerson Scholarship Committee was formed in 1997 by parents of Windham Chamber Singers students in appreciation of Dr. Richard Nickerson, the director of choral activities at Windham High School for the past 28 years. Since its formation, the RNS Committee has awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships to 24 Windham High School graduating seniors pursuing choral music as part of their college experience. All of the past recipients continue to be involved in music, either as a career or as a personal passion.
Please come enjoy an evening of performances by these returning alumni who share their talents once again to help raise money to ensure the future of this scholarship program. In the event of a snowstorm, the concert will be rescheduled for Sunday, Jan. 3, at 2 p.m.
