Choral
Belonging to a choir is an extraordinary experience. Choristers develop their own musical skills and abilities while being a member of a team with a common purpose. Note changes to Youth Choir night and time!
Choral
The Music Enrichment Choral Program offers an outstanding choral experience for students in elementary through senior high school. To ensure a challenging as well as age and skill appropriate experience for all singers, the program is divided into three choirs.
This model is designed to address the needs of the developing voice with a sequential approach that allows singers to move comfortably from beginner to accomplished chorister.
In addition to weekly rehearsals, the choirs are involved in three concerts per year, Winterfest, Edmonton Public’s Night of Music and Spring Sing. The choirs may also participate in a variety of festivals and community events. Choral camps, workshops and tours are also important facets of the All-City choirs.
