BMS WORLD/CLASSICAL WOMEN'S VOCAL ENSEMBLE 13-18 years NEW!

This women’s ensemble will focus on Classical and World music (i.e. Balkan, Georgian and South African music). Singing in a topnotch ensemble is one of the most rewarding musical experiences you can have. We welcome all experienced and enthusiastic singers to join us in this exciting new adventure. Reading music is not essential, as we will also cover basic reading skills. A placement interview is required.

Our first performance will be on the Winsor Chamber Music Series in November of 2010. There will be many more performance opportunities throughout the year. The ensemble’s director, Megan Henderson, has worked with the PALS Children's Chorus, Village Harmony Summer Camp, the Winsor School Choruses and has sung with the Schola Cantorum, Boston Bach Ensemble and Boston Camerata.
