Brio

Our Brio training level program provides a foundation for choral and vocal instruction for boys and girls ages 7-9.  Children receive an introduction to basic choral singing and perform three times a year at formal concerts.  We try to provide at least one additional casual performing opportunity for this group.  Shari Anderson is the director of Brio.

Intermezzo

This program takes the foundations laid in the Brio program to a higher level, providing boys and girls approximately 9-12 with more vocal training, some basic music theory, and further introduction to part-singing.  This group will perform three times each year at our formal concerts, as well as at least one additional performing opportunity.  They usually also enjoy a one-day weekend retreat for more in-depth choral training.  In addition, we try to offer a short festival opportunity if an excellent event comes our way.  Directing this level is Kris Mason.

Arioso

Is a treble choir for girls and boys (with unchanged voices), ages 11-18.  This program provides an advanced level of instruction for choristers graduating from the Intermezzo.  They perform at all formal concerts and also at a number of community events and performing opportunities  This is also the main touring group in our program.  Choristers attend a full weekend retreat in the fall and a one day retreat in mid-winter to further develop their vocal skills.  Kris Mason continues as artistic director of Arioso.

Camerata

This program provides young male voices an opportunity to perform in a mixed voice SATB group with our advanced young women singers.  This ensemble will provide an excellent transitional opportunity for advanced choristers who are considering continuing with their vocal talents into the college level.  Singers are allowed to continue in this program through age 20.  High school girls are also required to be a part of Arioso.  Boys are provided with one half hour of specialized instruction designed for the maturing male voice.  This program is directed by John Hendrix and is available only at our Shoreline Site.
