ALHS Choirs
Abraham Lincoln High School is home to four choirs, which include students of all grades as well as levels of experience. Estetica is our jazz choir; Concert Choir, Bellissima, and Chamber Chorale study a variety of literature with a focus on classical music.
Ensembles in the Lincoln Choral Department have successfully participated in state and national competitions and festivals. Estetica and Chamber Chorale have proudly represented Lincoln at area and regional choral education conferences. On our annual tours and festival performances, the students’ hard work and commitment to excellence has been recognized with top rankings and honors.
Regardless of ensemble, all students work to improve individual as well as ensemble skills in technique, music theory and sight-reading through a wide variety of choral repertoire.
