classes
The Chorus is divided into 5 sections, using grade level as a guideline:
Fresco / Grades K-1
Giocoso / Grades 2-3
Arioso / Grades 4-5
Bel Canto / Grades 6-8
Chantos / Grades 9-12
Fresco / Grades K-1
The Fresco level welcomes singers in kindergarten or first grade. Two sessions are offered each year for Fresco singers. You may enroll for either the Fall or Spring session or for the full season.
Giocoso / Grades 2-3
The Giocoso level welcomes singers in 2nd or 3rd grade. You may enroll for either the Fall or Spring session or for the full season.
Arioso / Grades 4-5
The Arioso level welcomes singers entering 4th or 5th grade. 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.
