Our unauditioned women’s ensemble is the ideal way for a young woman to continue to learn proper vocal technique, continue to learn to read music and perform music of the treble choir repetoire. 

This Concert Choir serves as the foundation for our choral program.  Singers continue to develop proper vocal technique, music reading skills, and knowledge of SATB choral repetoire.  The Concert Choir is featured at our four annual concerts.  Additionally this choir has learned and performed major works of the choral repetoire for our Classics Concert.  These works include Mozart’s Coronation Mass, the Faure Requiem, and the Mozart Requiem.  In the end, the singers of this ensemble explore the full range of music in the choral repetoire.

From Sea Shantys to the Jersey Boys, the music set for mens voices has always been entertaining, challenging and diverse.  Our auditioned mens group continues to focus on proper vocal technique of the men’s voice and music reading skills.  Through a capella music and tight harmonies, singers learn the skills of refined intonation and musician independence. 

It was the Florentine Camerata of the late sixteenth century that met to improve the art of music and thereby society could be improved as well.  In that vein, The HB Women's Camerata aims to perform demanding music of the women's repetoire with artistry and in the celebration of music.  In particular this ensemble has performed Benjanim Britten's Ceremony of Carols, 'Christe Eleison' from Bach's B Minor Mass and a vocal arrangement of the 'Overture' to Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro.  This ensemble explores their full range of vocal technique and is challenged with the most demanding sight reading skills.  For their accomplishments and dedication to fine arts, the Women's Camerata was invited to perform for the 2007 Virginia Music Educators Associtaion (VMEA) annual conference. 

The HB Chamber Singers seeks to refine the skills necessary to be a professional choral singer.  This ensemble continues to work on their full range of vocal technique and is challenged with the most demanding sight reading skills.  Together we explore the most demanding chamber music repetoire and seek to perform these pieces with mastery.  Particular music studied includes Mozart's & Haydn's Missa Brevis, Brahm's Liebeslieder Waltzes and Palestrina's Exultate Deo.  For the past two years, the Chamber Singers have been featured as the Shepherds Chorus in the Menotti's opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors in VA and NY.  This ensemble has been invited to perform at the Washington National Cathedral, The White House, The 2004 Virginia Music Educators Association (VMEA) annual conference, and with the Washington Chorus during their Christmas concert tour at the Kennedy Center and Strathmore Performing Arts Hall.
