Spirito to Sing at Carnegie Hall

Spirito Singers is proud to announce exciting additions to their 2021-22 Season including innovative electives as well as an NYC Carnegie Hall Tour for the Bravura Ensemble.

Rehearsals for the Ragazze Ensemble, 5th- 8th grade treble singers, will include weekly elective classes designed to strengthen singers’ musicianship. Singers begin with multi-level theory training, and will continue with new offerings in vocal technique, composition, songwriting, conducting and more. Singers have the choice of Monday or Tuesday night rehearsals.

There are exciting changes for the high school age Bravura Ensemble as well. In addition to participating in an elite choral ensemble, the Bravura singers will develop their musicianship skills through elective classes which will be held on Sunday afternoons after the choral rehearsal. Singers’ elective options will include solo vocal technique, composition, audition bootcamp, conducting, songwriting and theory refresher. Bravura singers can also participate in an a cappella ensemble.

After a Covid driven hiatus, the Bravura Ensemble will head back out on tour next June. The ensemble is going to New York City to perform as part of the National Treble Chorus at Carnegie Hall. Bravura was invited to be part of this prestigious chorus after the concert’s organizers heard recordings of the ensemble. The National Treble Chorus will be comprised of top high school and collegiate treble ensembles from across the country.

The tour won’t be all-work-and-no-play! While in New York, Bravura will go to a Broadway show, visit museums and other sites, and finish with a celebration and post-concert party in Times Square.

Spirito Singers is a chorale for 5th – 12 grade treble singers with convenient rehearsal sites in Elmhurst and Oak Brook. Spirito offers singers the opportunity to develop leadership skills through exceptional musical training, education, and performance, as well as service opportunities. Spirito is also proud to include the Men of Spirito, an ensemble of fathers, grandfathers, and community members ages 18+ who provide mentorship, service and leadership through singing and performing.

Auditions are being scheduled now for the 2021-22 season. For information on Spirito or to schedule an audition please go to www.spiritosingers.org
