We can't wait --

Cantus is coming to Lenoir-Rhyne in three weeks!

"DEEP RIVER"
Friday, September 18, 6:30pm | LR Grace Chapel

Music has the power to bridge divides and remind us of our shared humanity, transforming a room into a space of belonging. Featuring cherished works from the choral canon, including “Shenandoah,” “Lux Aurumque” and “Deep River,” Cantus’ “Deep River” celebrates the bonds formed when we join together in song. The LR A Ca****la Choir will join Cantus for a collaborative selection.

Click link in comments for more details. This concert is NOT ticketed. Seating will be first-come, first-served.

Class of 1999 alumna Master Sgt. Rachel Ghadiali retired from "The President's Own" United States Marine Band on July 17, 2026, after 20 years of dedicated service. As Communication Strategy Chief, she pioneered the band's social media presence, led a team of five Marines, and planned publicity campaigns for more than 500 national tour performances across 48 states. She served in direct support of five U.S. presidents, including five inaugurations and four state funerals.

During her time at Lenoir-Rhyne, Master Sgt. Ghadiali '99 was a member of the LR Band, FCA, Kappa Delta, SGA, and much more.

The Alumni Association congratulates Master Sgt. Ghadiali on her retirement and thanks her for her honorable service. Fair winds and following seas!
