On Dec. 6, some 45 former members of the Fordham University choir returned to their alma mater to participate in the annual Festival of Lessons and Carols, and to celebrate a quarter-century milestone for their choir director, Robert Minotti.

Following the celebration, Joseph M. McShane, SJ, recognized Minotti for 25 years of musical service to Fordham, where he has garnered international recognition for the choir and and created the Schola Cantorum chorus that sings weekly at the University Church Mass.

“He took a struggling program and turned it into the hottest Christmas ticket in town,” said Father McShane.
