Concert Choir
The flagship choir of SVCC, the Concert Choir is made up of advanced choristers ranging from age 10-18, selected through an audition process. Focusing on high-quality performance, Concert Choir sings treble and mixed-voice repertoire using two- to four-part harmony, challenging vocal technique, score analysis, dissonant intervals, and multiple foreign languages. All members of Concert Choir participate in either Treble Voices, a subset of Concert Choir directed by Janet Hostetter or in Mixed Voices, a subset of Concert Choir directed by Joy Anderson. Opportunities to participate in local, national, regional, and international tours exist on a rotating basis.
The Concert Choir is directed by Janet Hostetter, and meets weekly on Mondays from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Chamber Singers
Concert Choir participants in grades 8-12 have the opportunity to audition for Chamber Singers, a group of 12-16 members who rehearse and perform without accompaniment in four or more parts. The group size and a cappella repertoire make Chamber Singers an ideal choice for adding gaiety to office parties and smaller community events.
The Chamber Singers is directed by Janet Hostetter and rehearses weekly on Monday evenings from 5:40-6:20pm.
Intermezzo Choir
Formerly known as Treble Choir, the Intermezzo Choir is comprised of children ages 9-14 and builds on fundamental principles of music. The Treble Choir focuses on vocal technique, sight singing, music literacy, ear training, round singing, and repertoire with up to three voice parts. Intermezzo Choir members are selected through an audition process and perform three or more concerts throughout the year.
