Cary-Grove graduate sings in performance aired at movie theaters

Gregory Kraemer of Cary, a freshman at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., has participated in the 2007 St. Olaf Christmas Festival, one of America's longest-running celebrations of Christmas.

Kraemer, a bass in the Viking Chorus, is appearing in four performances through Saturday.

And for the first time, the performance was broadcast live from St. Olaf College, in high definition and surround sound, to nearly 200 movie theaters across the country.

The St. Olaf Christmas Festival, which began in 1912, is a two-hour service of hymns, carols, choral works and orchestral selections that celebrate the birth of Christ.

Kraemer, the son of Judy Kraemer, is a Cary-Grove High School graduate.
