Local performances include concerts at the school for the community to usher in the Christmas season and their Spring Concert. The High School Ensemble gives those musicians the opportunity to continue their development as they join in the concert schedule and other performances. The choral program prepares students to perform using their talent and training, and it also provides an opportunity for broadening their perspectives on the influence of music by studying and performing sacred and secular literature from the Renaissance through the current century as well as music from other cultures.
