The Lexington Children’s Chorus, under the auspices of the Lexington Music School (Munroe Center for the Arts), is an auditioned choral ensemble for singers in 4th and 5th grades from Lexington and the surrounding area. During our weekly rehearsals, singers experience team-building, ear training, vocal development, music reading and aural skills, and so much more.
Ms. Angela Carpenter and Ms. Allison Iannuzzi, co-directors, are thrilled for the opportunity to continue to develop a wonderful Children’s Chorus here in Lexington, Massachusetts! This is our second season with LCC. Our inaugural season in 2019, pre-pandemic, included two performances with the Lexington Symphony Orchestra – Carmina Burana, and as the featured chorus for their Holiday Pops Concert Series.
This 2022-2023 season, LCC was thrilled to be invited to join the Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums for their Christmas Day Album 20th Anniversary Concert at Cary Hall. In this “Marching Toward the Holidays” Concert, LCC performed various Christmas Carols with the fifes and drums and also sang a few selections with our accompanist, Ms. Martha Rogers. LCC also recently performed their Winter Concert at Follen Church in Lexington.
LCC singers meet every Thursday afternoon to rehearse and experience team-building, ear training, vocal development, reading and aural skills, and so much more. LCC singers are currently learning and preparing for our Spring Concert on Saturday, May 13 at 3:00 PM at Follen Church (free admission).
The Lexington Children’s Chorus is still admitting more singers in the spring semester. If you have an interested Grade 4 or 5 singer, please visit our website at lexingtonchildrenschorus.com for more information!
