Bio

In its 12th year of competition, DeFortes Show Choir proudly presents Work of Art on today’s stage. This year’s show brings famous paintings to life, such as the Mona Lisa, American Gothic, Scream, and Van Gogh’s classic Starry Night. Together, we explore how art comes alive, first on the canvas, then within us, reminding us that each person is a masterpiece in motion.  

DeFortes are thrilled to share their artistry at five competitions across the state of Wisconsin, including Holmen,  Sparta, Sauk Prairie, Eau Claire, and Monona Grove. Under the direction of Lyrica Daentl and Doug Hoeft,  with choreography by Ben Schrank and music arranged by Jim DePriest, please welcome to the stage —  DeFortes!
