The Westborough High School Choral Department is very active in our community. We have seven separate vocal ensembles who often perform together as the Choral Union. Mixed Chorus, Women's Chorale and Concert Choir are our three curricular ensembles and the Chamber Singers is our co-curricular ensemble. The student directed Contemporary A Cappella Program consists of three ensembles: Don't Panic (mixed voices), Girls Meet World (women) and Members Only (men). There are many different types of performances that the WHS Choral Department presents to the community throughout the seasons. All our ensembles perform at our annual Winter and Spring Concerts. The WHS Choral Department aids in building school community by performing at our Baccalaureate and Graduation Ceremonies and many school assemblies throughout the year. Other successful performances that are shared on a semi-annual basis include Choral Collage Concerts, where younger choirs from the school district join forces with the high school singers; Masterworks Concerts, where we combine with our Orchestra and perform a large choral/orchestral work; Contemporary A Cappella Night, where the Middle School Concert Choir joins the WHS Contemporary A Cappella Program for a fun night of music; Dinner Concerts, the Chamber Singers have hosted this annual dinner concert for almost 30 years; Men's Chorus Concerts, where the men from the middle school and high school choral programs sing together; Pops Concerts, where the music performed stems from the stage, screen, and radio; Treble Choir Concerts, where young women from surrounding schools show strength in song; Jazz Concerts, where the Chamber Singers perform along our Jazz Bands; Exchange Concerts, when we host choirs from other schools and share our music. The Concert Choir tours annually and all our ensembles participate in many state, regional and national competitions and festivals. The Chamber Singers often participates in festivals, competitions, and sing for community and professional events. The WHS Choral Department is a fun and welcoming place for any student who loves to sing! |
