Get to Know Our Choirs
Concert Choir
Concert Choir is our top large mixed voice ensemble. This group has performed all over the country, even at Carnegie Hall! It’s also the featured choir at our Bailey Choral Festival. You’ll perform significant choral works in a choir with a robust sound and technique.
Chamber Choir
Chamber Choir is our top small choral ensemble. The choir tours regularly and has performed at major conferences around the country and internationally in places like Vienna, Prague, the St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. This group hosts our annual High School Choral Invitational. You’ll perform diverse and intricate choral works in an intimate setting with other high-level singers.
Voces Poderosas (Treble Choir) & Virtuosos Vocales (Tenor/Bass Choir)
These are some of our oldest choir ensembles and let you focus on repertoire written for specific voice types. You’ll be a part of a supportive and tight-knit group that sometimes combines with Concert Choir on larger choral pieces. Voces Poderosas and Virtuosos Vocales host our annual Singers in the Middle Choir Festival.
