Holiday Harmonies, 2019

Singers in our Training Divisions and Performing Ensembles gather together twice a year for two special concerts: Holiday Harmonies (December) and Spring Sings (May).

For many of our choristers, these concerts are their first time performing on stage for their friends and family. Singers work throughout the semester preparing to perform at one of these special concerts. These shared performance opportunities allow singers to inspire (and be inspired by) students across all of our divisions. Having an opportunity to perform also gives students the self-esteem that comes from being allowed to express themselves and occupy space as true performers.


2020-21 Holiday Concerts

For the 2020-21 season, we presented our annual holiday concerts virtually. Singers prepared repertoire weekly as they would in a normal season. However, for our virtual concerts, they recorded their individual parts at home, which were later mixed and edited into virtual choir videos.

These concerts offered our choristers an opportunity to not only prepare music for a group performance, but also gave them experience with self-recording and thinking creatively about how to present their performances.
