Mastersingers Head to Carnegie Hall This April
In August the Mastersingers received an invitation to be a part of a massed choir (7 choirs total) to perform at Carnegie Hall on April 14, 2013, under the direction of Dr. Henry Leck, Chorus Master for the Indianapolis Symphony Chorus and Indianapolis Children's Choir. Along with the invitation was an application to send in audition materials to be the featured solo choir that would perform the first half of the concert.
Recordings of the group from the last 3 years were sent with the application. Three adjudicators then listened to the recordings to score and evaluate them. The adjudicators were the Choral Director from Julliard, the Choral Director from the Manhattan School of Music and the Chorus Master of the New York Philharmonic. Based on the audition recordings and the adjudicators scores the Mastersingers were selected to be the featured solo choir at the concert on April 14, 2013 and will be the only choir to perform their own program separate from the massed choir performance.
Back
This is one of the highest honors that any musician at any level can receive, let alone a high school choir. The Mastersingers are now one of only a few high school choirs in the nation that will be able to say they had a featured performance on the stage of Carnegie Hall.
The concert will be open to the public. Please check the Archmere website in the near future for information about ticket purchases.
