Arioso [ah-ree-OH-so] is our auditioned choir for singers in grades 6-9 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. The choir rehearses weekly and each semester concludes with performances in the combined Girl Choir concerts on the stage of the Lawrence Memorial Chapel.
