ENSEMBLE CHOIR
Ensemble presents a stimulating, comprehensive and significantly
more demanding program in music repertoire and skills, as well as increased
and varied performing experiences. The personal commitment of each chorister
and his or her family is vital to maintain the quality of rehearsal
and performing skills of this level.
There is concentration on more complex and challenging
music and higher and more demanding expectations in sight-singing skills.
Comprehension and vocalizing of musical phrasing are more complex. Vocal
technique is expected to become more consistent. Agility and practice
are necessary to hear and learn music in more foreign languages. There
are high expectations of the development of chorister independence in
work and in rehearsal techniques. An ambitious schedule of performances
allows Ensemble choristers to offer their music to the greater Spokane
area, and to share their talents and musicianship.
