Basketball + St. Olaf Choir = hot Nike ad

By David Gonnerman '90

"This dramatic commercial takes you on a tension-filled final seconds journey of a high school basketball game, with Mozart's Requiem as the unlikely but perfect soundtrack," writes Minnesota Public Radio's John Birge about a new Nike ad that features the sounds of the St. Olaf Choir and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The Star Tribune also took notice of the local music-making that's being heard, and seen, around the country.
