Elizabeth Egger (Minnesota)
Our choir (grades 6-8) strives to take treble choral singing to the highest level. Each week, the singers have time to work on vocal technique as well as note-learning, ensemble singing, and communicating emotion through music.The repertoire of this choir includes songs from around the world in many languages, as well as classic and sacred pieces from all genres of music, making the singers and audience aware of the diversity and commonality of our world. These singers are introduced to a higher level of musical and vocal development and learn music with sophisticated musical structures, texts, voicing and languages. There is always a place for tunes from the jazz and musical theater idiom on our choir programs. For the singers – combining their love of singing and experiencing the beauty and power in making music together also means having fun.
