CURRICULAR CHOIRS
Throughout the school year, the students in curricular choirs develop excellence in vocal capability, production, and performance etiquette as they prepare for performances in local concerts at St. Francis High School. The four curricular choral programs offered to St. Francis High School students include Troubadours, Bel Canto, Vox Consone, and Madrigal Singers. There is also a premier community education show choir – Bridge Street Singers.

madrigal singers
madrigal singers
The Madrigal Singers are an auditioned, a capella choral ensemble. Madrigal singers produce an original script for their capstone performance. Students meet in daily for one trimester to write the script, rehearse the production, design the stage, and create costumes.
Since 1981, the St. Francis High School Madrigal Singers have performed their Madrigal Dinner shows in the fall for the school community. This community gathering and choir fundraiser is an annual musical celebration of food, fellowship, and of course, the wassail!
The Madrigal Singers also represent St. Francis High School in various performance engagements throughout the community, such as the tree lighting ceremonies in St. Francis, Nowthen, Oak Grove, and Anoka, as well as the American Legion Veterans Day gathering, Mall of America performances, Miracle at Big Rock, and the Anoka Grande Day Parade.
Watch for announcements about upcoming performance dates, times, and tickets for all the St. Francis High School Choir events.
