The Concert Choir at JFKS is open to all interested students in grades 9 through 12. No audition is required for this large ensemble. Several high-profile performances are undertaken throughout the school year and a wide variety of music styles are explored (Medieval through modern pop and musical theater). In addition, concepts in music history and theory are covered in relation to the literature being sung. Healthy vocal technique is also taught and emphasized. The ensemble rehearses three times per week, and a yearlong commitment is required. Most students stay in choir for several, or all, of their upper high-school years. Abitur students may choose Concert Choir as one of their “Grundkurse.”
When? Monday, 10th period; Wednesday and Friday, 6th period
