BOSTON - The Boston Bruins announced today that New Bedford, MA native Kara McEachern will perform the national anthem at the Boston Bruins home game against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, December 1.
Kara is currently the Office Manager for the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra and choir director for St. Francis of Assisi Church in New Bedford. She has performed on many stages in her musical career, including at Carnegie Hall. She performed for the Southeastern Massachusetts Festival Chorus for 10 years while also acting as its President. Kara holds a degree in Arts Administration from Wagner College. She performed the nation anthem during the 2017-2018 season for the Boston Bruins.
With the retirement of Garden legend, Rene Rancourt, at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, the Boston Bruins held live auditions on August 8 to find a rotating group of singers who would perform the anthem at home games during the 2018-19 season. Out of more than 600 applications, 52 finalists were chosen to partake in the live auditions. McEachern is the fifth out of that group of finalists to be selected to perform this season, following Todd Angilly, Shanna Jackman, Dayna Fisk and Michelle Brooks-Thompson. Information on future new anthem performers will be announced prior to each Boston Bruins home game.
