This beginning-level training choir composed of children at least 8 years old, teaches the fundamentals of reading music, learning rhythm and vocal skills through choral singing. Chorale members have either graduated from a Children s Choir or are older beginners with basic two-part music skills. Members are introduced to multi-part singing and are eligible to participate in tour opportunities. In this most advanced treble-voiced performing choir, members demonstrate advanced abilities in singing and music reading. The Concert Choir often performs with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and tours nationally and internationally.
Membership is determined annually.
In addition to local performances, members of the Saint Louis Symphony Children s Choirs share their talents with the public through tours, both nationally and internationally. Some of the choir groups have had the opportunity to perform in Russia, Japan, Sweden, Scotland, Germany, in Carnegie Hall and other locations. Additional rehearsals are required of touring members and special fundraising opportunities are provided for participants. Tour participation is encouraged, but not required.
