Members of the Teen Ensemble enjoy working together in a more intimate chamber music setting with sophisticated music especially suited to young women’s or young men's voices. Singers at this level are given frequent opportunities for solos and duets within the ensemble repertoire. These are the only choir levels which prepare enough music each semester for singers to carry a concert of their own. Commitment to practicing independently is therefore essential. The Teen Choirs rehearse 2 hours weekly. They will be further supported through additional sectionals, workshops, and a once a year weekend long retreat. Members of the Teen Ensembles may join Concert and Chamber singers on tours, when appropriate.
Teen Ensemble members are expected to:
Practice independently
Carry solo and duet parts
Engage their audience through an expressive stage presence
Develop a personal understanding of the music they sing
Sing with blend and a balanced tone in ensemble
Work together as a group to evaluate the ensembles progress
Commit to achieving excellence
