Concert Choir

This more advanced choir performs two and three-part music and is composed of approximately 100 students from the fifth through eighth grades. The Concert Choir's repertoire consists of a diverse selection of music drawn from classical, sacred, folk and contemporary literature. The Concert Choir takes part in four major concerts each year - "Christmas on the Coast," "SHOWTIME," "In Sacred Song," and a benefit concert with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra titled "The Sound of Miracles."

A highly visible presence in the community, the Concert Choir performs frequently with other area arts organizations, including Pensacola Opera, the Choral Society of Pensacola, and the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. They also participate in a variety of community functions, including outdoor concerts, patriotic events and seasonal activities.

The Concert Choir engages in more advanced work with the choreographer in preparation for the "Christmas on the Coast" and "Showtime" performances, held each year in the historic Saenger Theatre in downtown Pensacola, and also works at a more advanced level with guest conductors.

The Concert Choir has toured throughout the U.S. and Canada, including performances at The Basilica of Notre Dame in Montreal, Quebec; the Crystal Cathedral in California; Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City; the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to Canada in Ottawa, Ontario; and St. John's Cathedral in Denver. Tour engagements have also featured combined concerts with such prestigious groups as the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, the Houston Children's Chorus, and The Young Voices of Colorado.
