PS22 Chorus gets a visit from Latin Grammy nominee, LENA!



On November 1, 2006, the PS22 Chorus received a visit from the Cuban super-star, Lena! Lena was nominated for Best New Artist, and her beautiful song (duet with Latin music sensation, Alejandro Sanz), "Tu Corazon", was also nominated for the Song of the Year at this year's Latin Grammies. She sang a solo version of her Latin Chart-topping mega-hit for us and we were all, needless to say, blown away!! Then she listened to the chorus, and Mariah & Justin sing a solo piano version of Justin & Mr. B's original song, "Bethlehem". She was extremely moved by the passion the kids put into their singing and, of course, by their extreme talent! See for yourself...

Hey Julianna!

Glad you found the site!!

Agreed! Lena is phenomenal! But like you say, you're phenomenal too! You just keep singing like Juliana and you'll do fine!!! I LOVED your "A Moment Like This" performance for the Talent Show! You have an INCREDIBLE voice! The chorus could never sound as good as it does without kids like you in it!!! (You guys sounded so good on "Dragon" today!!)

But, yeah, I hope Lena comes back too.... I know she absolutely adored you guys!!
