BEL CANTO | Chantons

Our Bel Canto and Chantons levels welcome singers entering 6th-12th grade. Bel Canto and Chantons singers are required to make a full season commitment, though we do allow singers to join throughout the year provided there is space. Bel Canto and Chantons singers rehearse every Thursday and once a month on Saturdays. At this level, balance is critical, and the repertoire, which is determined by the composition of the group, is more extensive.

Bel Canto and Chantons singers are eligible to participate in the June 2022 Carnegie Hall tour.

Registration is open and rolling throughout the term. The first Bel Canto/Chantons class of the 2021 Fall Session is September 9. Rehearsals run through the season concert in early May.
