Dr. Riney served as a guest conductor at Florida State University’s fourth annual High School Choral Festival, invited by two former students, Andre J. Thomas (’73) and Kevin Fenton (’84). Thomas presented Riney with “Walk the Streets of Gold,” a choral piece that Thomas wrote about Riney and the Singing Quakers. The piece was performed in pre-published form at the festival but premiered in February, 2004 at Carnegie Hall in New York City and with the Singing Quakers at their home concert in March of that year.
