Concert Choir (CC), the entry level of our Performing Department, is a remarkably accomplished group of singers who have studied music for 3-5 years. CC sings 3 part music under the expert tutelage of their conductor Andrew Brown and refine their knowledge and sight singing skills in a powerful two or three year curriculum cycle.
