Vocal Music
The Blair Academy Singers
The Blair Academy Singers is a select group of singers chosen because of their vocal ability, dedication, and love for the choral music tradition. The mixed-gender choir sings a widely varied repertoire and executes a highly demanding rehearsal and performance schedule throughout the school year.
The Singers respresent the best of choral music at Blair Academy. In addition to providing music for many school events, the Singers often travel off campus to workshop with other schools and choirs, as well as to perform for communities up and down the eastern seaboard. Each spring, the group plans a tour to a different place; in recent years the Singers have traveled to Quebec, New England, and California. The Blair Academy Singers meets during the academic day and is a year-long commitment for students. One becomes a member of the Singers by audition, and the group is made up primarily of upperclassmen.
The Blair Academy Singers have released two recordings on compact disc, “Canticum Novum” (2001) and “Gloria” (2003).
The Blair Academy Singers are all members of the 48-voice mixed choir, The Blair Academy Concert Choir.
