So it was more than a little touching when she was tapped not long ago to perform Beethoven's Choral Fantasy at Avery Fisher Hall. The Beethoven, with Serkin at the keyboard, was performed each summer to close the Marlboro Festival, sort of the event's theme song. And for many of those summers Laredo sang in the chorus. So it was with mixed emotions that she performed the work the other day. Ruth Laredo performs Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Stadium Theater in Woonoscket's Monument Square.
Admission is free.
