classes
The Chorus is divided into 5 sections, using grade level as a guideline:
Fresco / Grades K-1
Giocoso / Grades 2-4
Arioso / Grades 3-5
Bel Canto / Grades 6-8
Chantons / Grades 9-12
Fresco / Grades K-1
Giocoso / Grades 2-4
Arioso / Grades 3-5
The Arioso level includes singers entering 5th grade, and those in 3rd and 4th grade with the approval of the Directors after a vocal placement session. Arioso is required to make a full season commitment, though we do allow new singers to join throughout the year, provided there is space. At this level, balance is critical, and the repertoire, which is determined by the composition of the group, is more extensive and is performed throughout the year.
Bel Canto / Grades 6-8
The Bel Canto level welcomes singers entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. Bel Canto 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 singers rehearse once a week. At this level, balance is critical, and the repertoire, which is determined by the composition of the group, is more extensive and is performed throughout the year.
Bel Canto singers are eligible to participate in the June 2021 Carnegie Hall tour.
