Arioso

The Arioso curriculum solidifies rhythmic and melodic readying skills and teaches healthy vocal production throughout the voice change. Singers perform a variety of music in unison and multiple parts. Arioso performs on both the fall and spring Girl Choir concerts in the Lawrence Memorial Chapel; singers may have the opportunity to participate in one additional community performance or event.

Students registered for Academy ensembles are also expected to participate in a curricular (during the school day, for credit) performing musical ensemble when available; Arioso should not substitute for curricular music programs.

Auditions for Arioso are held in April for the following year. Auditions for the 2019-20 season are now closed. Please fill out our interest form to receive information about auditions next spring.
