Chamber Choir

WOMEN'S CHAMBER CHOIR

Chamber Choir is a performing group open to students in grades 9-12 who have formal choral experience and a basic knowledge of music. Instruction in music theory, required solfeggio reading (sight-singing), and exposure to improvisation are covered in this class. Each week, students work on music theory and concert music. Music performed includes a variety of classical, jazz, pop/show music and foreign language literature. Mandatory performances include regularly scheduled concerts, such as holiday and spring concerts, and other concerts as required by the directors. A vocal audition is required prior to being enrolled in this class. Membership in this group is limited.

This group functions both as a training ground for students who wish to audition to move into the Show Choir Program, and as a group for students who are happy with the level of commitment that comes with being in this choir. This course counts toward graduation, and can be repeated all four years of high school.

Chamber Choir has the opportunity to travel on two days trips every year, once in December to see a musical, and once in June to participate in a Music in the Parks Festival, with the park each year being chosen based on the interests of the group and schedule availability.
