�������ϲʿ������2023

The Choir has a long and proud tradition of performing a wide-ranging repertoire that engages the intellectual and artistic imagination of its members and its audiences. Its focus is on music from the Western classical tradition intentionally, as this art form is not as well represented in most high school programs. In addition to singing works for unaccompanied voices, the Choir enjoys collaborating on extended choral-orchestral works each spring term with the �������ϲʿ������2023 Orchestra.

This page documents the repertoire sung by the �������ϲʿ������2023 Choir beginning with the 1998-99 season, the first year of Donna M. Di Grazia’s leadership of the ensemble.
