“Music is the bridge between Heaven and Earth.” -Dr Eph Ehly

Yesterday was a very special day for the Doane Choir! Renowned conductor, author, and Nebraska native Dr. Eph Ehly came and visited yesterday! Dr. Ehly has conducted All State Choirs in 49/50 US States (he’s coming for you, Rhode Island!)

Dr. Ehly met his late wife at Doane, and has loved this campus and this choir since then. Not only was his passion for music apparent, but even more so was his love and enthusiasm to make connections with us. There was not a dry eye in the choir room by the time our session with Dr. Ehly ended. He spoke of the power of music, the joy of making art, and of the love and community that music brings. He emphasized that music is not only for those who are naturally gifted, music is for ALL.

Dr. Ehly, thank you for your time with us! The Doane Choir will truly never forget this incredible experience.

(Swipe to the end for a surprise from Doane Choir resident rapper, Olivia Nelson!)
