Intensive choral training is offered on a daily basis and choir members are trained in the performance of chaoral works from various musical style periods and from folk and ethnic genres. All choir members also receive music theory training, since the reading of music is compulsory. Choir members are elected from grades 6 - 12. The Concert Choir has a repertoire of international standard.
