Coro Sinfónico

Coro Sinfónico: This is Del Sol Academy’s symphonic chorus, a mixed voice ensemble elective for sophomore, junior, and senior magnet students. The ensemble will collaborate with DSA’s Symphonic Orchestra and chamber instrumental ensembles on performances throughout the year. Because this is a leading ensemble at Del Sol Academy, another very critical part of the audition process for this ensemble is professional attitude. Things such as tardies, classroom attitude, grades, and discipline will weigh strongly on the decision in the selection of this ensemble. In addition to strong and competent vocal technique, good general musicianship is essential. Major topics include advanced vocal performance skills, live performance opportunities, and the study of advanced vocal literature including a range of historical periods and cultures. Instructional practices incorporate integration of diversity awareness including appreciation of all cultures and their important contributions to society.
