In 2005, Music Directors in the New York area expressed interest in joining together to form a chorister experience of the highest caliber for girls. The Choir School was delighted to offer space, resources and experience to the endeavor. Since then, the Choir School has proudly taken full ownership of the course and developed a schedule and musical standard parallel to that of the boys during the academic terms. In 2008, we offer a nine day choral experience to outstanding girls selected by an application process. In addition to rehearsals there are required classes: Sports, Use of the Voice, & Sight-singing. There are many “Special Events” scheduled: a sight-seeing trip, Sundaes on Tuesday, Pizza & Movie night, a Broadway Show, and our own gala candle light awards banquet and skit night.
Our goal is to provide a chorister experience that replicates that of the Saint Thomas boy choristers – live, learn, play and sing together. This year, the course is limited to those girls who have completed 8th grade through high school.
