GOSHEN, Ind. — A Franconia Conference native is participating in the Goshen College Orchestra during the fall semester, under the direction of Associate Professor of Music John Graulty.
Elena Histand, daughter of Steven and Bronwyn Histand of Telford, plays bass. The freshman collegiate studies major is a 2006 graduate of Christopher Dock Mennonite High School and attends Blooming Glen Mennonite Church.
The Goshen College Orchestra is a group that varies in size and repertoire, from chamber orchestra to full philharmonic dimensions. Formed in the 1950s, it has actively performed standard symphonic repertoire ever since. The group presents concerts of major orchestral works each semester. In addition, it accompanies the choirs, operas and student winners of the Concerto-Aria Competition.

Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
