Arioso [ah-ree-OH-so, meaning “a lyrical, expressive style”] is our auditioned choir for singers with changing voices. Arioso focuses on developing singers’ vocal, choral, and musicianship skills with an emphasis on healthily and successfully navigating the adolescent voice change.
Each of the Girl Choirs is a destination in its own right, offering exceptional experiences tailored for singers at a particular level of vocal, social, and musical development. The choirs meet weekly to connect, learn, and grow through quality choral repertoire written for treble voices. Each semester concludes with a performance in the combined Girl Choir concert on the stage of the Lawrence Memorial Chapel, and the year also includes opportunities for community service performances and outreach events.
